Why are you trying to run them down sista's? Don't you know who you are?There is huge difference between putting yourself in the field to be seen and throwing yourself at someone. It's annoying to them, trust me, they don't like it. It's annoying and unattractive, and makes you look desperate. It lowers your worth in their eyes. Some men start out thinking you're fabulous until they find out you are an easy conquest, then they quickly lose interest.
The problem with many church girls, women, and just women in general is that other people value us more than we do ourselves. When we cannot see the value in who we are then we operate out of a place of need rather than want. I discussed some time ago the difference between wanting and needing someone in our lives. My blog post entitled "I DON'T NEED A MAN". Our completion is our savior Christ Jesus, because we are complete in him. While we are single we should be satisfied with being the bride of Christ. But because our flesh has replaced what our spirit is lacking, then we want to substitute what we really need for what we think we need. What we really need is more time with God, but because we our not adequately equipped spiritually we try to put something in the place where God should abide. If had not been down this road, I could certainly not share this with you today. It is all too common among women, that we try to fill a space with something or someone. If it's not food then it's people or a man. It's like we need to have something or someone in every corner of our lives to make us feel like we are satisfied or adequate.
But there is only sufficiency in Christ Jesus and no amount of things or people will ever be able to compensate for the longing that is deep within us. That place in us is a place that only God can abide. Food can't fill it and people cannot fill it. That is the reason that women become easy. Easy targets, easy prey, easy to conquer, and easy to overtake. We lose perspective on what is really lacking in us and try to get filled up with something or someone other than what was intended to fill us up. That's why you will see women constantly calling, emailing, texting, and trying to run down a man. You need something but you haven't realized that it's not really a man you need. There is something in us that longs for God, but many people replace that longing with the wrong things. As a result of this missing element, a woman can make herself too available and start reaching out to things and people to fill up her emptiness. It reminds me of the song, "Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord, come and fill this thirsty soul of mine, bread of heaven feed me till I want no more, fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord". There is a thirst in us, but it is for the bread of heaven, not for other things. We just need to realize this.
We have to get to a place where we are so full of the Holy spirit that we live in the overflow and not just have enough anointing to sustain us, but enough to spill over so that we never run dry. When we live in the overflow we will not fall victim to being needy and wanting for things or people to fulfill us where God can only fulfill us. We will not live in lack, but abundance. We will not stay in a dry place but a place that is watered with the Holy spirit. That's a place we need to be and a place we need to stay. When we live in this place we will not be so easy the enemy tricks us out and derails our character, witness, and value. There is a place where God abides behind his wing where you can hide. Find yourself in that place and you will never be "easy" again. You will be discerning and aware of the enemies tactics and devices. You will use wisdom in your decision making. You will wait on God instead of trying to lead God. You will hear rather than talk. You will be a woman who understands her value and demands the respect that this value represents.
Don't you wanna be that girl? That woman of God......Yes, I pray for everyone of you reading this on today. God has something in store, let's just wait to see what it is. If you see Boaz somewhere, don't chase him to the four corners of the earth. No, just put yourself together, get out in the field and work where he can see you. Trust me, he has his eye on you, but he doesn't want a woman that will make a spectacle of herself. He wants a woman who is well respected, Godly, decent, and knows how to present herself without lowering her value.
Love you ladies and God bless and keep your face down at the Master's feet.
