The Set-Apart Life

Living Fully for the One Who Loves You

What does it feel like to live a life where you’re deeply connected to the One who loves you unconditionally? Peaceful? Purposeful? Absolutely extraordinary?

This isn’t just a dream; it’s an invitation from God to live set apart—for Him, through Him, and with Him.

The truth is, living a set-apart life isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more—more connected to God, more aligned with His plans, and more available for His purposes.

And let me tell you, the wonders He does through a life surrendered to Him? They’re nothing short of miraculous.

The Call to Come Away


Let’s start with a beautiful picture from Song of Solomon 2:10:

"My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."

This is the groom calling his bride to come away—a picture of Jesus calling us, His bride, into deeper intimacy with Him. It’s the same call we see in Joshua 3 when the Israelites were about to cross the Jordan into the promised land.

God told them, through Joshua:
"Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you." (Joshua 3:5)

Radiant lady, before God does wonders through us, He calls us to sanctify ourselves—to set ourselves apart for Him.

What Does It Mean to Be Set Apart?

To be set apart means to be intentionally different for a higher purpose. In the Bible, we see this in God’s call to His people:
“You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people…” (1 Peter 2:9).

It’s an identity rooted in holiness, purpose, and distinction.

Being set apart begins in your heart. It starts when you let God shine His light into every corner of your life, asking Him to purify you from anything that doesn’t reflect Him. And as He works inwardly, the transformation becomes visible outwardly—in the way you talk, dress, and even the company you keep.

Think about Esther, who set herself apart through fasting and humility to fulfill her divine purpose. Or Daniel, who refused to eat the king’s food because he was committed to God’s ways. Their decisions to live set apart weren’t easy, but they led to extraordinary outcomes.

How Can You Live Set Apart as a Young Woman?

  1. Embrace Godly Character
    Proverbs 31 reminds us that a virtuous woman is “clothed with strength and honor.” Let integrity, kindness, and wisdom guide your actions.

  2. Seek Spiritual Growth
    Build a close relationship with God through prayer and His Word. As Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

  3. Guard Your Purity
    Purity isn’t just about actions; it’s about the heart. Align your thoughts and decisions with God’s standard of holiness.

  4. Surround Yourself with the Right People
    The people closest to you influence your journey. Choose friends who encourage your faith and hold you accountable.

  5. Say Yes to God’s Purpose
    God’s plans may feel uncomfortable, like Abram leaving everything familiar or Mary surrendering her dreams. But obedience positions you for wonders.

Why Should You Live Set Apart?

Because being set apart makes room for God to do extraordinary things in and through you. It’s the pathway to peace, purpose, and His promises.

So, radiant sister, ask yourself today:
“What does being set apart look like in my life?”
“Which areas do I need to surrender to God?”

And as you take that step of faith, trust that His plans are always worth it.

Let’s walk this set-apart journey together—living fully for the One who loves us deeply.
