Last Night I Dreamt...
From a distance I stood and admired her. Her smile lit up
the room. Everyone adored her. They went on and on about what a great person
she was – thoughtful, considerate, extremely helpful, and compassionate. They
honored her for all that she had done for them. People were raving about how
wonderful she was. They spoke of the sacrifices she made for the betterment of
others.
From where I stood I felt so full of anticipation and
excitement about getting a closer look at this woman. The elders called her a
gift from God; the young called her an Angel. In my mind I could see her grand
wings perfectly draped on her back. I could see the diamonds sparkling in her
eyes. I could see sun shine in her smile. In my mind I painted a beautiful
picture of her – this gifted Angel sent by God whom everyone loved. But from
where I stood I could vaguely see her. The room was full of her admirers. Everyone
wanted to be near her, to be a part of all that she was. You see, she was
special; unlike any other. They say that she loved everyone, respected
everyone, and would give her last crumb to anyone with a need. Constantly she
gave of herself asking for nothing in return, and it seemed to make her happy. Few understood her but so many loved her.
All I wanted to do was to see her. I had hopes that the mere
sight of her would make a difference in my life. The room began to spin around
and around. Now there were just voices and faces…images. My desire stayed with
me. I longed to see her face. Suddenly, there she was right before my eyes. She
and I… face to face. To my dismay there were no wings, no diamonds in her eyes,
and the sun didn’t shine through her smile. She was…simple. She was…average.
She looked nothing like what I had imagined. When she spoke to me she said, “We
are the same. One mind, one body”. At first I didn’t understand. We couldn’t
possibly be the same. She was perfect. Everyone loved her and I was just…me! I
looked into her eyes, she smiled and said “awaken and see the truth about
yourself”. I looked closer, although a bit puzzled. Finally, I realized that
she was right. The woman that I longed to see… was me! I reached out my hand
and she reached out hers… we both touched the mirror that stood between us.
If I can dream that I
am great, I can manifest it in my waking life.

A Woman's Self Reflection
SELF REFLECTION
WHERE YOU WERE, WHERE YOU ARE, WHERE
YOU ARE GOING
A
woman is so much more than the flesh she is in. Women are daughters of the
king. Now, we know that God created man first but when he created woman he knew
that he was saving the best for last.
Who are we?
As women we sometimes fail to realize
how great we are. We fail to realize that we were divinely created, that we
were perfectly made. I don’t care if you are tall, short, thick, thin, light
skinned or nice and chocolate like me; you are the perfect you. No-one else can
do you like you can, because they were not created to. You were created just as
you are to be just who you are. The question is: Do you know who you are?
God chose us to be the portal through
which he creates new life. He breathed life in us so that he may continue to
breathe life through us. Psalm 139:13 says “you made all the
delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb”. We are precious gifts of God. Not
just gifts from God but gifts of God.
·
Romans 5:1 tells us that we have been
justified – “Therefore since we have been justified, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
·
1Corithians 6:19-20 tells us that we
are bought with a price – “Do you 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 with a price”. Therefor honor God with your body.
·
Colossians 1:13-14 tells us that we
have been redeemed and forgiven – “ For he has rescued us from the dominion of
darkness and bought us into the kingdom of the son he loves, in whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins”.
·
Romans 8:28 tells us that we are
assured – “And we know that all things, God works for the good of those who
love him, who have been called according to his purpose”. So walk in your purpose.
·
2 Timothy 1:7 says – “For God did not
give us a spirit of fear but a spirit of power, love and self-discipline”. It is time to tap into that power.
·
2Corithians 5:17declares that
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the
new has come”. Reflect
on where you were, where you are, and where you are going.
We are daughters of the king. A woman
is so much more than the flesh she is in.
A women’s work is never done
There are so many roles that women
have to fill. We have to be mothers and for some of us fathers too. We have to
be nurses, chefs, house keeper, teachers, managers, counselors, providers,
friends and lovers. We have to be everything for everyone in our lives. Then,
on top of all that we have to deal with ourselves – body changes, as a woman
our bodies go through so many changes; we have to deal with our physical and
emotional health. We have to be strong. Proverbs 11:16 reminds
us “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one
tears hers down”. When
you reflect on your life which woman are you and which woman will you choose to
be. Wise or Foolish.
Examine ourselves
It is time for women to recognize how
powerful you are. Not only is it time to realize how powerful you are but it is
also time to begin to tap into that power. It is time to take control of your
life. What better time than now. Day
after day you have been putting up with the same old foolishness. You’ve been
excepting things you don’t have to except. You’ve been doing things you know
you should not do. But you do it anyway. The reason for that for many women is
because you don’t know your worth. Reflect on where you were last year then
think about where you are now. Did anything change? Are you where you want to
be? Is your life what you expected it to be? Whatever your answer – have you
asked yourself the question why? What have you done and what are you now doing
to make your life what it is today? Are you willing to own up to your
responsibility for your choices? “If you’d like to know what your
choices have been, look at yourself and the life you have lived. What you see
is the choices you’ve made”. Reflect on where you want to go from here. Are you
willing to do the work it will take to get to where you want to go? Keep in
mind that it may not be easy but anything is possible when you put your faith
and trust in God who strengthens you. “Problems are not stop
signs, they are guidelines” Should you reach, what feel is the end of your rope, tie a knot and
hang on. Look towards the hill from which comes your help. Know that trouble
don’t last always. A woman can overcome any obstacle when she believes she can.
Know who you are. Women are daughters of the king, a precious and perfect
creation of worth who hold great value with God. Begin building your tomorrow
right now. Walk in the light of what God has created you to be. Know that a
women’s power for living an abundant life comes from the word of God.
When I reflect on where I was
compared to where I am, I get excited about where God is taking me. Now, I say
where God is taking me because I make it a point to make him a part of every
plan. His will and his will alone be done in my life. I can honestly say that I
am a better woman today than I was yesterday because God has blessed me to be
able to love myself for who I am and to have faith and believe in who he has
created me to be.
So I say to you today: Love yourself,
Love God, Set Standards for your life and do not be afraid to live by those
standards. A women’s worth is more than the flesh she is in.
