1. She Knows That She Is Special: God made us in His own image and after His own likeness. He also declared us fearfully and wonderfully made by Him. He loves us unconditionally. No good parent hates his/her children. A parent might disapprove of what the child does, but not necessarily hate the child. So no matter what we have done or even what we have failed to do, nothing will warrant God loving us any lesser. In my book IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL GOD SAYS IT’S OVER you can read more about how God is able to take the rejected of this world and turn them into beautiful flowers.
2. She Does Not Allow Her Negative Experiences To Determine Her Future: Someone said God is able to turn your mess into a message. In spite of our shameful pasts, He knows how to draw near to us, heal and deliver us from horrible things that happened to us. Some of the women are raped in their own homes, some by friends, strangers or relatives. The pain, shame, guilt and fear of being rejected by others cause them to keep these past experiences a secret. These secrets affect them to the point of causing divorce in some instances if the person does not get delivered because they struggle to be intimate with their husbands. Their pasts haunt them until they choose to seek help. Sometimes we are affected by our own mistakes; like living in sin even though we know the truth or the ones we make as we grow in life. The enemy uses guilt and shame to keep us in captivity. There is no sin God will not be able to forgive nor pain He will not be able to heal. He is the balm of Gilead. If you thought He might not understand, know that the enemy is lying to you. God is love and will never ever hate us. Every child makes mistakes along the way as they grow and what is important is that they do not stay in the same stage forever. One of the most excruciating encounter women go through is betrayal and deceit by their partners. God created us all for His divine purpose and we are beautiful and precious in His sight. Our understanding of this truth will help us to snap out of betrayal quickly. If you always blame yourself it only indicates how you see yourself and not how God sees you. Men sometimes will say things to you that make you feel that you were to blame for what they did. Refuse to carry the guilt of their wrong choices. People close to us will definitely hurt us, and this is one strategy the enemy uses to destroy families and relationships. When we know that people are not perfect, we will put our trust in God the perfect One and not men. When you are betrayed or deceived, ask God to heal you and move on. With time we heal if we are prepared to forgive others and God will reward us for our obedience. Even if you deceived or betrayed others, forgive yourself and ask God to forgive you and move on. Stop punishing yourself for what you did many years ago. God is loving and forgiving. Read more about this in my second book; Rather be a fool for God, forgiveness liberates.
3. She Knows That Challenges Are Part Of Life: Life unfolds and we all go through challenges in life. Some are able to show it and some are able to hide it. The bible says that many are the afflictions of the righteous but God delivers us out of them all. The fact that others do not talk about their challenges doesn’t mean that they are problems free. Never reach a conclusion that God loves others more than you because it is not true. He loves us all unconditionally and all the time. He hates sin yes, but He does not hate the sinner. Challenges are like examinations and are there to help us to evaluate our faith walk. Refuse to be the one crying about issues all the time. Allow God to use you to encourage others as your faith grows. Your faith can only grow when you commit to studying His word consistently. People perish because of lack of knowledge. If we are weak in a crisis, then we are weak indeed.
4. She Knows That She Is What She Thinks: Our true image is in God. What God says about you is more important than what others say about you. God’s truth stabilizes us. We normally blame others for our failures in life, but truth be told we are destroyed by how we interpret the situations and our expectations of how others should behave around us. The bible says as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Therefore think about thing that are pure, honest, just, and lovely and of good rapport.
5. SHE DOES NOT GIVE UP EASILY: 1 Corinthians 10:13 say there’s a way of escape for everything that we go through. Do not sell yourself short in your moment of weakness or hardship. Maybe you need a job desperately and somebody promises to give you a job only after you slept (sex) with them. Refuse to compromise because you might be just a second from your break-through and the devil would like to steal your real blessing. We can only manage to resist the devil if we are fully submitted to God, and the devil will flee from us. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. Learn to trust God in every situation and believe that He will carry you through no matter how hard it might be. He said He causes us to triumph always and even though we have many afflictions in our lives, He will deliver us out of them all. The question will be; do we really trust in Him with all of our hearts as He encouraged us in the book of Proverbs 3 or not?
In Conclusion, remember that God is faithful and He will not bring you this far to discard or reject you. Remember That He Will Always Love You Unconditionally.
