Proverbs 31 Prep
Recently, I was sitting around the table with some lady friends and naturally the topic of conversation turned to men and relationships. I got a little amped because prior to the conversation I had seen a panel of so called "experts" give relationship advice that was so far from the amazing plan that G-D has for us as women. People were clapping...LOUD at some advice that when compared to the loving will of G-D was absolute trash and foolishness.
Right on time the Holy Spirit reminded me that one message we must reiterate to ourselves, our daughters, our sisters, our moms, and our lady friends is that we are treasures. We, as women, are treasures because G-D created us with a specific purpose. He fashioned us. Our "treasure-hood" lies in the One who created us...and He is perfect. Our "treasure-hood" is never at the expense of someone else's dignity; nor is it constructed because we are putting someone else down to find it. Our "treasure-hood" consists wholly of the awesome G-D who saw fit to chase us with His grace and lay hold of our hearts so that we would finally recognize what the "world" would never tell us--we are Bat Melech (a daughter of the King)!
Finally, as I mentioned to a friend, only the man who recognizes, honors, and empowers the "treasure-ness" in us is worthy of our love, affection, and commitment. May we always know the treasure that He has created us to be. When we look into the mirror may we always see a "daughter of the King" staring back at us encouraging us to be all that we've been created to be for such a time as this.
Remember S.W.A.G. "It's all about the way you walk." (Psalm. 128:1 "Blessed is everyone who walks in His ways.")
