I
have a message for you ladies. This is from the heart, from the soul, and from
the BIBLE.
YOU
ARE WORTH MORE THAN GOLD.
The
word of the year, ladies, is VALUABLE.
Let’s
look it up.
valuable |ˈvalyə(wə)bəl|
adjective
worth
a great deal of money : a valuable antique.
•
extremely useful
or important : my time is valuable.
noun
(usu. valuables)
a
thing that is of great worth, esp. a small item of personal property : put
all your valuables in the hotel safe
Valuable.
Have
you ever felt that way?
Has
anyone ever showed you how completely,
perfectly, preciously VALUABLE you are?
Just
the way you are?
You’re
value does not come from ANYTHING ELSE but THE BLOOD OF JESUS. For you were NOT
redeemed with silver or gold, BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. THAT
is in the Bible, 1 Peter 1:18, 19. I petition you: WHAT is of more VALUE than
that???
So,
no.
No,
he cannot have your body without paying the price.
No,
he cannot wine and dine you enough to get between your legs, get a job. Buy
your own food.
NO,
he will not put me seventh on his list of priorities. What? If I am no priority
to you, then you CLEARLY are not prepared for this relationship. I would rather
WAIT for God’s BEST for me than to constantly receive a negative message about
my value because some man is too immature to prioritize me into his life.
Money
isn’t everything, ladies. It is NOT where your value lies, but if YOU are
spending most of money in the relationship…no ma’am. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN
THAT. A REAL MAN will cheerfully invest in something that he plans on keeping.
If men around the world spend thousands on renovating cars or building man
caves then there is no reason you should be with someone who won’t spend a dime
on you. You’re worth more than that sis. A courageous man would jump at any
opportunity to show you your value.
A
real man will also ADD value to you. If everyone you love and trust is
constantly befuddled as to why you are even with him, then he may be
depreciating your value instead of appreciating it.
I
had a hard lesson in this, ladies. Especially considering the guy my sights
were set on loved Jesus as well. When I would talk to my friends about it they
would give me a confused look and be like OK. Only a couple of them actually
had a rebuttal for me. And I had the nerve to defend him. I would consistently
give excuses and harp on his ‘potential’ completely ignoring the right now.
Sisters,
we are too valuable to date potential. Potential is great, pray for him, but we
have got to stop missionary dating and BELIEVE who we are in Christ. This is
not arrogance. And people might call us stuck up for having such high and
abnormal standards, but boy will it be worth it!
I’ve
posted the TLC classic No Scrubs to go along with this post. Howbeit a bit
superficial, it has some truth to it. If a group of women who didn’t know
Christ have some value about them, how much more should we as women of God.
WE
ARE WORTH IT, LADIES! Never forget it. Never settle.
You
can’t afford to pimp your anointing to someone who doesn’t know God like you
do.
