What motivates women to serve

Got asked this question and this was my response:

For some, they know it as a calling from God, for some, they need to hear that God desires for them to serve, for some, they are inspired to serve because they have good role models, for some, it's peer pressure, for some, they want to give bAck to the community what the community has given to them.

More often than not, women are motivated to keep serving when they do not feel excluded in the ministry that they are serving in; when they feel accepted and supported.

I was answering for what I believed to be majority of the women's responses based on our conversations.

What motivates me to serve is seeing God work through my inadequcies and insecurities. In serving, my faith in God grows as I see Him provide if only we avail ourselves. It is an awesome thought that He actually doesn't need us to get His work done to have His glory seen and purposes achieved, but yet He chose to use us, that He allows us to be His hAnds and feet, so that we will learn to rely on Him for His strength, so that we will grow closer to Him, so that He could have a relationship with us.

Amazing God we serve.
