In this month’s post of “From a Man’s Point of View” I want to talk to my unmarried sisters
about loving themselves and seeing themselves through God’s eyes and not a man.
You do not need a man to define who you are. God has already given definition to
your life when He created you and no man can ever take the place of God. God
said that you are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image, therefore, the
true definition of who you are is defined in the image of God and not a man.
I see too many of my sisters
frustrated and hurt because they don’t have a man. They feel that having a man
will make them feel fulfilled. They feel the pressure and hear the words of
others that look at their singleness as a plague. I say celebrate your
singleness, and start loving yourself. The only way a man can truly love you is
if you first love you. Be happy with being in your own presence. When you can
love yourself and enjoy your time alone and know you are not lonely, is the
time when you can be made to be that good thing ready to be found.
I have said all of that knowing this is the month for Valentine’s Day. You may desire to be with someone on that road to marriage, however, don’t let it be at the cost of a dead beat relationship with a dead beat guy. Hear and listen to God and not your emotions or those who would make you to feel less of a woman because you don’t have man. Lastly, as Valentine’s Day approaches, if you don’t have anyone that will present you with flowers, candy, etc. celebrate your singleness and love yourself and buy your own flowers, candy, and card, look in the mirror and tell yourself “I Love Being Me”. Be healed and made whole in Jesus Name.
