Sometimes, there is a need, or a sense of longing for companionship that we feel inside ourselves as women---people---human beings; it’s only natural. Whether you are widowed, single, divorced and newly single, etc, we all have a natural desire to share our lives with someone. Before I get too far into this lil’ message, I must note, this is a word for those who are struggling with the challenges of remaining pure after a divorce, a nasty break-up, or if you’re in transition from being engaged to being married.*disclaimer....lol!!!* ok....
Now, it is my belief that God put the desire of a mate inside each of us. Some of us suppress our feelings or emotions and ignore the desire which is ever present. I can speak for myself and say, we may fantasize about what our husband will look like-how he will dress-how he will shout or praise God- and getting even more real, what it will feel like to feel a man next to us in bed. Look, I am not saying that these desires are wrong, but I am here to tell you “BEEN THERE, DONE THAT-YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THESE TRYING TIMES!!”
A lot of times, it is not addressed in the church that we have these natural desires and it's okay, therefore, we are left feeling like no other person knows how we feel , or has ever been where we have been---dead wrong! There is not one new thing under the sun; the Bible clearly states this, yet we may forget this in times of distress. I challenge you to confront yourself: spiritual and natural and be real with you! Know what you want but more importantly than that- know how to wait on God! We can’t rush the hand of God, or else we will open up Pandora’s Box, and all types of mess, sin, and trash will be crawling out around our lives.... like an overflowing dumpster.
Don’t let these lil’ dudes soup up yo head and make you think because you’re cute, got a nice shape, got your own place and car, or a good job, that they are deserving of your time/mind/body/text messages/late night phone calls/facebook statuses/pictures of you (???)/money/gifts and presents/dinner and a movie...etc..... if GOD didn’t tell you that that man is for you! Am I saying don’t date...no! Am I saying wear your dresses down to your ankles and look reckless....Heaven’s no! But I am admonishing you to keep your virtue. Integrity, to me, has so much to do with how much you respect yourself, that other person (that fine man who looks like a younger version of Denzel...my lawdy!!), and most importantly- how much you respect your relationship with Christ. God knows us and knows our desires but we must trust that HE knows us so well, that although the enemy may throw traps and distractions and darts in our way, we can’t allow temptation to bear the fruit of sin.
Ladies. Girls. Young saved women--- WE MUST OVERCOME!! And we can only overcome by the grace of God!
Until next time, remember....
You were created in the image of God. It is your duty to walk in your calling. To fulfill your purpose. To be a light, like a city that sits on a hill. You are beautiful, woman of God. You are virtuous, woman of God. You were designed with a purpose in mind.
God Bless You
