Women thou art great

Women are often taken for granted. They are often looked down on and seen as weak. They are often broken by those around them, made to feel insecure, ridiculed, controlled and unappreciated. So many things happen to women and society seems to find it hard to not scream all these negative things in our faces.

Media says we cant have it all. It says for a woman to be beautiful she needs to be in a specific form and hit a specific bar. Media uses separation and isolation to define beauty. It shouts "yellow bone" is the new standard and we now jump lower to reach that standard.
When society says skinny is the new sexy , we go all out to look just like that. We become bulimic, anorexic and starve ourselves so that all that "fat" can vanish. We spend so much time altering how we look , in order to fit in when God has in fact made us to stand out.

My question is, Is that all there is to women? Are we just a physical object that the world/media can mold into whatever it wants us to be? Are we a gallery for men to drool at, wondering which one of us to take home? Are we just the pretty face, the curves and the breast we sometimes flash so we can be noticed?

I truly believe there is more to women than what meets the eye. I believe that there is power incubated in this temple that the world is trying to distort and mislead us from seeing.
Do not get me wrong, I am not advocating for women to not work out, eat right, look pretty and all but what I am saying is that there is more to Us women than what we are being told or what we see.

There is something I truly love about God and its that He values women. He values us and has esteemed us so highly that He Compares women to the Holy spirit by calling both, The helper. It shows how much our guidance , willing hearts and assistance is needed. It shows that we have the capacity to assist, support and partner.

I was reading in the book of Proverbs the other day. Proverbs four speaks about Wisdom. Wisdom is called "she" and "her". God could have called wisdom "He" but he purposely chose "Her" for a reason. I am not saying women are givers of wisdom because God is but I am just trying to open your mind to greater mysteries that are still to unfold pertaining women.

This is what David says about wisdom

"If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord"

Whats more amazing about this passage is that, after David speaks about Wisdom, he then speaks about another type of woman. A woman who is immoral, one who flatters with her words, who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God. David speaks about her house and her paths that lead to death.

From this passage, we can clearly see two types of women. The women we ought to be is the one God compares to His wisdom. One who is hidden in God so much that even when a man seeks her, he has to look for her as though he is seeking for silver and searching for a hidden treasure.

There is so much greatness in us women and we are loved and precious to God. We just need to stop looking at the worlds standard to define us and our capability . Instead we should look to God and live in His standard. I refuse to be labelled by this world. I refuse to let my past to define my worth and I refuse to let the worlds view of beauty and strength be a limiting factor in my life.

WOMEN THOU ART GREAT AND YOU OUGHT TO START SEEING YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE.... THE WORLD CAN WHISPER ALL IT WANTS ABOUT US BUT WE NEED TO STAND FIRM ON GODS WORD AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT US.


CONTINUE TO SEEK GOD AND BE HIDDEN HIM. IT IS IN HIM THAT YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF.
