Do you know that the face behind the powerful Proverbs 31 passage is Bathsheba?
Yes—the same woman society would have written off.
The same woman who was caught in a scandal with King David.
The same woman whose reputation could have been destroyed forever.
The same woman people might have called names, judged harshly, and labeled unworthy.
Yet God chose that woman to deliver one of the most iconic, empowering chapters for women across generations.
Bathsheba—the woman with a past—became the woman whose wisdom shapes wives, mothers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and kingdom women today.
Isn’t that just like God?
The very woman society would have disqualified became the vessel for Scripture that qualifies and strengthens women worldwide.
Here is the truth:
Your past does not define you.
Your mistakes do not disqualify you.
Your history does not determine your destiny.
The events of life may try to label you, but God’s Word is your true identity.
When you bring your brokenness to Him, He doesn’t discard you.
He reshapes you.
He restores you.
He makes something beautiful and glorious out of what once felt shattered.
Just like Bathsheba, your story is not over.
God can take your most painful chapter and turn it into the very message that lifts others.
Because with God, your past is not your prison—
it is the platform for your purpose.
