"to have found God and to still pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love."
|
Women of proclaimed faith. where is your devotional life? are you living prayerful? where is your mind focused? where is your modesty? are you focused on being liked, on fitting in? to whom do you seek to belong? what is your spirit? one of love and compassion? Oh where is true womanly godliness.
Girl, don't you know who you are and who you're meant to be? Haven't you found out that this worlds got nothin for ya? 'Cause it doesn't. Nomatter how glamorous Satan might show things to be its only leaving you lost, broken and empty. The world tells women that they have a right to flaunt their bodies, their attitudes, and "confidence". That they have a right to dress however they please; they shouldn't feel as those they need to hide their bodies. That they should be overly confident, self relied. You know it all. It's screaming everywhere you look. Well let me tell you. As "wonderful" as that kind of woman might seem, that is not who God calls you to be. He calls you to protect, respect, cherish and value your body as a beautiful creation. Sacred and special. Something that should be valued enough not to be flaunted. Your value is not how hot and curvaceous you are. You are so much more than that. You long to be valued for who you are, but you're hiding away your value by flaunting what would be better hidden. I know there's a deeper issue. and maybe many deeper issues. but the only solution to that, the only thing that will be a true remedy is chasing the covering of His love. He can heal those wounds. He can satisfy those longings and insecurities. Oh the value He places on you is unmeasurable and He longs for you to embrace your heavenly identity and value. That confidence and show of confidence the world tells women they should have is a lie. It is self focused and proud. God calls us to a quiet confidence only rooted in Him. True confidence is gentle and silent but far more powerful. Short devotionals and quick prayers are not enough. You are called to be women of whole heart searching of His word. We should be throwing ourselves daily at His feet, reaching moment by moment for His garment that we too might be healed from the sins and damage of this world. We are called to be women of prayer. with arms stretched out, faces to the ground offering everything into the loving hands of our savior. Our lives should be ones of daily concentration. Each moment of everyday should be one of surrender, of heart wide open that His channels of love flow continually into our hearts. You are not to be independent and self relied. Yup you heard me. You are to be dependent and rely on Christ. You are nothing without Him. You are either filled with the things of satan or the things of Christ. You can't have a mix of both. You can't afford to be independent or self reliant. Fully depend on God, for it's only in Him you can rely. Seek to cultivate a quiet and gentle spirit. A heart overflowing with love and compassion. Practice being slow to speak; guard your tongue to speak only things you would hear spoken in heaven. Seek daily to lay self down on the alter, and put others joys and happiness above your own. Only through the love of Christ can you be empowered to be the women God purposed for you to be. Only in devoting everything to Him, laying down on His alter of grace that He can flood your heart and transform it. It is not something that comes easily. This is not Satans wish and He will do all He can to keep you from what you were purposed for. But do not give up. The reward is far worth it. You belong to God. come back to His heart. let Him cover you with His love. let Him place His seed of love in your heart and watch it grow. let Him show you who He sees you as. Don't settle for the ways of this world. for what it says you should be or who your friends are chasing to be. You are so much more that.... We are called to live lives of holiness. Of holy purpose and devotion. "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." Proverbs 31:10
