One big good you could
do for yourself as a woman is ‘to grow’. I am talking about real growth, an all
round growth; a within and without growth. A position where you may not be where you want
to be but you are not where you used to be. You may not be ‘perfect’ but you
are not on that level you used to be.
In times past, I used to
feel ashamed of my weaknesses and mistake especially those who are related with
character flaws. I used to bother a lot on how this would affect my
relationships.
I made up my mind not to
be the same woman I was the year before. I would list the things I didn’t like
about myself especially those who were not consistent with God’s word, I would
pray about them, ask the Holy Spirit to help me, look for scriptures on them, and
meditate on these scriptures.
Above all, I am very
conscious of the Holy Spirit in me and I am conscious of the ever powerful word
of God. The Holy Spirit is my help, and he has helped in this pursuit of a better
Esther. I strongly rely on the help of the Holy Spirit. With the Holy Spirit in me, I am a ‘moving’ being.
The Holy Ghost is referred to as the ‘rivers of living water’. If a river is in
me, then there is a constant flow in me. A river is never stagnant, how much
more the ‘rivers of living water’.
The Word of God is my
core, it is what birthed my spirit, therefore it sustains me. It has
transformational power. My mind, my
person is renewed daily as I behold. These are the basis of my belief that I become
better.
I have studied (and
still studying) to the point I know that I am a better woman than I was and I
become a better woman every time.
So, if it’s happening
within, it would definitely affect my without. Hence I receive the courage and strength
to make efforts to work on what needs work on the outside as a woman.
This year, I decided to
be a better woman not just yearly or monthly but daily.
No man can find me the
way he left me. And I choose not to remain as I was when my man met me.
Therefore, no matter
what flaw a man might say is the reason he does not want to be with me should
not bring me into a nervous breakdown because I am not that, I am a moving being.
I don’t remain the same. This should be
the same for you.
No one should think the
other person can never change for the better.
A man or woman of the
spirit should not be underestimated. In
us we have the power to do and to become whom God has called us to be, and, as
willing vessels we would grow into perfection.
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure- Philippians 2:13.
Never look at a person,
especially a potential mate, and think they would never go beyond where they
were. Especially if they carry the Holy Ghost in them, they are open to his
leading and they are people who thirst for revelation knowledge and spiritual
growth.
These are the kind of friends
I seek. This is the kind of partner I’m interested in.
No man should meet you
the way they left you.
Make it your taboo for
an old friend or a man you used to be with look at you and say to your entirety
that: “You’ve not changed. You are still the same person with the same behavior
and you are still on the same level”.
There is even a saying
that says: Change is constant.
Change should be
constant in your life; you should not be the constant.
Change to God’s glory. Change
for ‘you’ and enjoy your change.
Don’t give up on
yourself, start work on yourself.
