A shout out to the ladies: STOP looking for a man to give you worth! Men are an amazing gift from God. Give men respect and honor. However, your ownership belongs to God alone. Your identity comes through Christ, your Savior. You are far more precious than rubies. You have been made in the image of God. Crafted and designed by the Father of all creation, you are unique.
You are not meant to be a chameleon changing and shifting with the winds of popularity. You are not a slave to any societies view of womanhood. You have been liberated and set free by God Himself. The true feminist. The blood of Christ has given you the victory that no government can take away. There is no political party that will ever define your character and the media doesn’t know your name, the Shepherd does.
Jesus has clothed you in strength and dignity. You are virtuous and wise. You have only one true fear, The Lord. Hard times cannot deter you because you were made for eternity. Death has been conquered for you by the King of Kings. This world will never capture all that you are and all that you are becoming. You will bring light and kindness to the needy. You will bring good, not harm, all the days of your life. You are profitable, a hard worker, burning the midnight oil and rising before the sun. Your quiet and gentle spirit makes this world a better place because you live for Christ. You are love in action. You are a daughter of the King, an heir to God Himself. Don’t ever settle!
