I’m gonna just let God flow through this post. He’s been dealing heavily convicting me of the appearance of a woman. I’m immediately drawn to 1 Timothy 2:9 “And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.” This will be the framework for this blog post.
I recently made a video ranting about how utterly saddened I was to see females that had no class. I never ended up posting it, because God convicted me. He revealed to me that not everyone is at the same place in their spiritual journey that I am, and still deserve grace to make the decision themselves to find their way back to their true identities in Christ. He revealed that I was once living the same way, and He literally had to pry me away from my past lifestyle and into a new one. Since I have also been this way for so long, who am I to judge?! That’s not my job. My job is to usher women into God’s grace in the manner of which I have also received His grace.
I realize that sometimes women are seeking attention from wherever they can get it. That’s what the world teaches right? Get the attention, get the likes, make yourself seem higher than others, it’s all about YOU…etc etc etc. The issue is, that the only this type of attention gets you, is temporary, empty, pleasure. This type of pleasure is so temporary that you have to continue to up yourself and others around you just to keep the attention of those you seek to please. Unfortunately, if you continue down this path, you may or may not continue to have an empty feeling inside because you will never seem to fulfill the need for attention. So why not opt for peace that comes from God by accepting the true identity God is calling you to. I guarantee you that you’ll gain a different type of glow, a different aura, a different peace, and a different fulfillment. What if you truly learned how beautiful you were in God’s eyes and actually started to read the love letter He wrote specifically for your beautiful, queenly, royal self? What if?
I feel it’s time for you to stand up sis. You’ve been bound in the chains of what the world says you should be for so long. It’s time for you to rise up on wings like eagles and fly!!! God did not call you to be bound in these chains sis. He wants you to soar! He wants you to be individual, empowering, fruitful, intelligent, caring, humble, pure, and lovely.
God is taking us a new direction going forward because we are finally rising up and taking our steps into our purposes. Drop the club gear, grab your nearest Lillie Street sweatshirt, and walk boldly into the season God is calling you to. I’ll see you there sis.
