Who are you?!

      Ask yourself this question. Who Am I ? I’m sure that there are several thoughts running through your mind, but really who are you? Or better yet who do you think you are.

      Many people try to discover who they are through friend’s t.v shows or even music.
      But the only true way to find out who you are is through Jesus Christ. Think about it, who can tell you who you are better than the one who created you. He knows you better than you know yourself, he knows you better than your parents or your friends know you.  He knows you better because he knows your heart. Your friends may know your personality and they may know a few things about you, but do they know the secret things in your heart? No only JESUS Christ knows!!!

    So, you have to be careful who you surround yourself with.

·          I suggest that the next time you are around your homegirls , homeboys, or even church members that you may associate with, ask yourself do these people really accept me for who i am? Evaluate the circumstances, for example ask yourself if I Didn’t have a nice car or if I didn’t dress nice would they still be my friends? You will find the results to be pretty shocking.

·         You have to choose your friends wisely. Simply because friends can bring you down. Depending on what type of friends you may have. Are your friends a positive influence or a negative influence? Meaning do they help you stay out of trouble or do they get you in trouble?! Do they make you feel good about yourself or do they make you feel bad about yourself?!

   Know your  self –worth

·          you have to know how valuable and how precious you are. So I want to encourage you all.

I want to encourage you to be you. Don’t try to be like nobody else. Think about how the world would be if everyone acted the same, or dressed the same. We will be bored and bland.

·         Love yourself for who you are. If you like to wear your purple, orange, and blue, then wear it, because the only opinion that matters is yours and Jesus’s of course.

·         Embrace your talents and gifts and use them for the Glory of God. Whatever you are good in use that to glorify God. Remember at the end of the day the only one we need to please is God.

·         You are beautiful and the bible says in psalms 139:14 that “ you are fearfully and wonderfully made”

·         So embrace who you are, because I guarantee that there is no one else in the universe like you.

·         You have to remind yourself that you are a child of the most high God. Who can do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask or think.

·         Remember, God does not make any mistakes. And you are not a mistake.

·         Finally, don’t let a man, woman, or friends, define who you are, instead be defined by Jesus Christ alone.

I love you all and I pray that God will continue to bless you with an abundance of peace, love and joy. Be blessed!!

Love Chas

Why should he wait for you?

Why he should wait for you?

My story:

Well, I love to be loved.  What girl doesn’t? I use to waste so much time trying to chase the fairytale in a man, but what I did not know was that the fairy tale was patiently waiting for me .
Yes, Jesus is my fairytale now. With him I discovered who I am. With him now I know how a man should love me. I stop giving my heart away to boys, instead I gave Jesus my heart and he has yet to disappoint me. All of the relationships that I have been in from middle school to high school to college have been total disasters, but one thing that I can truly say is that from those relationships I have learned how a man should love and treat me. Now that I have the man who is love, who’s whole nature is love I now know why I am important and why  I am worth waiting for.

Now it’s your turn to discover:

Here are a few reasons why he should wait for you? Note: the reasons why a man should wait  for you are limitless, but I have narrowed it down to a few reasons. You can come up with many of your own to serve as a reminder of your important value.

1. You are a daughter of the most high God  and that alone deserves respect

As a child of God, you have the privilege to call the uncreated God “Abba” meaning Father. Because he is your father you have the heavenly right to be cherished just as your Father in heaven cherishes you. Most girls want a father who will protect her, give her guidance,  to tell her how beautiful and how special she is. Many have that, but there are some even those reading this post who do not. You may have never heard your dad say nice things about you or tell you that you are beautiful and important, but Your Father in heaven says that to you all through out his word.

2. Your body is the temple of the Lord

         1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says  “ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body”.  Your body is not even yours to give away, to use, and abuse. If you treat your body like a temple then it really shows how much respect you have not only for God but for yourself as well.

3. You are like a rare Jewel that is irreplaceable and  that can not be duplicated.      

                 You are like a ruby , which is one of the rarest jewels in the world. Rubies are original , priceless, highly valued. That's what you are.You are like the expensive jewelry behind the glass counter at the jewelry store. The expensive jewelry is protected by lasers and is handled with extreme care. No one can touch the expensive jewelry unless they are wearing gloves. That's how valued it is. Think of yourself that way?

4. Because he loves and fears God therefore he will R-E-S-P-E-C-T your decision.

 If he does not KNOW the Lord then most likely he will be carnal minded (worldly minded) and he wont love you like Christ loved the church, he would not even know where to start. Soooooooo, If he doesn't know God who is love then how can he respect the fact that you are deciding to wait? But a man who KNOWS the Lord will respect and yet cherish the fact that you chose to wait. A man who does not fear or love  God will definitely not respect you.

5.  Because if he really loves you He will wait . Period!!

  A man who really loves you and respects you as a woman will without a doubt wait for you. Don’t let em get ya with smooth talk. One guy once told me that he was planning on marrying me so we might as well have sex. WRONG! If I knew then what I know now then I would have kicked him to the curb a long time ago instead of wasting  my precious time. Because, obviously he was not serious about me or my decision to wait.

Be encouraged!!! Don’t give in to temptation or the lies of the enemy. You are beautiful, precious and you are the Lord’s beloved.

Remember your value is far above rubies!!!! The Lord said so himself!!

Love ya all !!!

Sincerely
Anonymous Daughter of Christ
