Proverbs 23:7(a) For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he
Foolish is not sensible: showing, or resulting from, a lack of good sense or judgment. Many times foolishness comes from having the capacity to make wiser choices, but choosing to not do so. Resulting in foolery which is defined as irresponsible behavior. Having the capacity, sense, and information to make wiser choices, but choosing to not do it is both irresponsible and foolish. Since I have adapted different lifestyle in terms of my health and well-being in the last year, I have noticed some things about people. Especially as it relates to relationships with both men and women. I noticed often people will treat you differently based on your body language, how you feel about yourself and treat yourself. If you do not value yourself, then their behavior toward you further devalues you. I find that often people want to feel more important and superior to others, so when a person is insecure it fuels their behavior toward you and invites disrespect.
I said all of that to say this.......when we are irresponsible in how we treat ourselves and devalue ourselves, it is foolish to assume that someone else will value you more than you do yourself. Foolery is abusing yourself, punishing yourself, and not appreciating the Godly vessel that you are. Often we want other people to fuel our self-esteem and make us feel good about ourselves. We want men in particular to treasure us, put us up on a pedestal, and even think we are wonderful based on what we think in our heads and not what we feel in our heart about ourselves. What we think in our heads and what we know in our soul can be different and the difference is perceived in how we carry ourselves.
Your heart reflects who you really are. Your head can tell you, yes I am fearfully and wonderfully made, but you don't really believe it because it's not in your spirit. When it's in your spirit, your head and heart will be in agreement with each other. Proverbs 23:7(a) For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. You say, how does a man "think in his heart?" The heart reflect the real you. That's why the bible says "if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Rom 10:9). Because it is not enough to say it with your mouth or let your head say it or think it, but it has to go deeper in you until your spirit knows what your head and mouth is saying. When your heart believes what your head just thought then you have truly understood who you really are. Joshua 1:8 tells us, "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success." We meditate on the word so that it can go deeper than our heads, so that our spirit can wrap itself around the word and truly minister to us, speak to us, give us nuggets of wisdom and revelation, insight, understanding, and direction. This is why you hear many preach the word, but do not grasp the Spirit of the word, because it is a surface understanding and not a Spirit translation.
We need to get a real understanding of who we are and wrap it around our spirit so that the impression that we give other people is the essence of who we really are and not just that "head girl", but the "heart girl". So, foolery is assuming that others will treat you better than what you think of yourself. Bring your thinking up of yourself by meditating on God's word concerning who you really are. Don't accept that because you may not be a run way model that it's okay to not care about yourself. Love the you who God made you to be. If you have a problem with your body, then do something about it. But no matter what size clothes you wear the reality is that you will have to change how you feel about yourself if you want other people to change how they treat you. If you are willing to accept treatment that is beneath who you are, then it is not because someone else decided you aren't worth more, but because you decided you weren't worth more.
I decided that foolery was not something that I wanted to operate in because it is one of the primary reasons women end up in relationships that devalue them, deflate them, and break them down into nothing well beneath who they are as a woman of God. I'm certain women of God, this is not what you want for yourselves. But a man would be willing to do this for you. Even though a man realizes what a prize you are....when you don't realize it, he will take full advantage of your insecurity just so he can have the luxury of having a woman that is out of his league. Hear me in the Spirit today with your heart and not just your head. Really pray that God gives you a real revelation of who you are and cause you to walk in it, so that you will not carry yourself like a servant and have a servant mentality when you are a Queen.
Stay strong and do not let go of God's word concerning you. Share the blog with others that you feel might be blessed!
