I think your worth is contributed to what gets most of your time. How often do you uplift yourself and accept your flaws? How many times have you really looked in the mirror and excepted what you saw and realized the changes that needed to be done to the mental you and made steps to change? The physical you is not a mistake no matter what is your skin color, size, or anything else that makes you unique. God does not make mistakes. Even though you may not want to accept you, God is always in love with you because He made you.
Adjust what gets your time. If you spend time on what
is not worthy of you it will eventually reveal itself and break pieces of you in the process. Then begins the process of letting go which is never easy, not to the flesh. Standing up for yourself is never easy. Many times our lives put us in situations that makes it hard for us to forgive. How can a woman deal with the little girl in her that was abused? How can a woman who's husband is unfaithful to her, know what is next? How does the woman who is being beat by her husband know how to save the life of her and her children? How can a cruel woman come to terms with the deceptive and unkind things she has done? The answer is Christ. Seek Him with all your heart, mind and soul.
We are put here to praise God but many of us have to reach our bottoms before we do just that. Even when we decide to serve God that does not mean we will not be tested. When we really give ourselves to God the test of love, faith, hope and the will to never give up on God begins. There is a reason why God is called the Bride Groom and we are called the Bride. There is all this anticipation to see the Lord and in the process of giving Him your all, you fall in love with Him. You can not wait to see Him. You must finish this life like a bride and groom must finish the wedding preparations, properly. Only then can you see Him for eternity. God is always there waiting patiently. Like any union it will be tested. Until we make it to God's arms we must fight and endure.
For many years I was my own worst enemy. I never felt what I was doing was worthy of Christ's love. The truth is Christ paid the price for us so we could be forgiven, it is our lack to forgive ourselves that impedes our growth in Christ. We must not be lukewarm, There is nothing left for us to do but to embrace Him. I had to learn that even when I felt He was not there, He was. That was a hard lesson for me to learn and often felt alone and forsaken. I knew it was of myself and not of the Lord, this made me feel even more unworthy. for so long I did not know how to get passed this so I began to read God's word. I thought it would be this miraculous growth but it was slow. Some days were better than others but I promised never to give up even though I wanted too. You must fight, you are a victor and you are not alone. Be Blessed.

What is Her Light about?
Life is challenging and engaging. I named this blog "Her Light" because many of us have lights that guides us, things that drives us, and we seek after with all that is in us. The Holy trinity is that for me. Jesus is my light and my all. I seek nothing more than I seek Him and I mean that with all of my heart. I love nothing more than I love Him. It brings joy to me just thinking of how true it is for me and how it was not always like that. I am 25 years old, single, and in Love with Jesus.
I have found that women feel the need to be comforted, loved, and needed. Many do not realize it. More times that not it is by the wrong thing or person. Let's be frank it is almost always easier to do the wrong thing versus the righteous thing. Some women are looking for someone to talk to, to confide in. Some feel rejected and do not know their worth, some have put down so many they can not possible know their worth. If I was to turn on the TV the image of the woman I see, she is most likely in something revealing and has been airbrushed and make-up down to be what is not real. Women know this but still feel the need to conform because of the need to be apart of something and the want to feel excepted. This is not just women but men too, but the issue weighs more pressing on women. I want every woman out there to know God loves you, every piece of you, flaws and all. You are a rare wonder, a gift and that not everyone deserves to partake in your greatness. It took me so long to figure this out. I never knew what my gift was. I am not a beauty queen, witty, book smart, street smart, good at playing a guitar or any other instrument, singing, I have horrible memory, and most certainly not a natural born leader. I just knew I had a thirst for God's word, loved to write, and I could uplift and encourage anyone. So I choose to share my gift with you and I pray you recognize and embrace your gifts, so you can then use them for a service in Christ's, in a way you never knew possible. I am not greater than you and you are not greater than me. My burdens are not heavier than yours and yours are not heavier than mines. We are here to uplift one another, and we must realize growth is done day by day not in an instant. You must be patient with yourself. Be Blessed.
