My God when God gave me that title it did something to me on the inside; to often we try and change people, we try and transform people in who we think they should be, but get mad if someone tries to change us. My, my, my; it took me a long time to love the skin that I am in. I was told I was to black I talked to white, my butt was to big, I was to nice, etc. etc. and before you know it I didn't even know who I was because I was trying to be who everybody else wanted me to be. I have learned that I am beautiful and my true beauty is within. I have learned that we don't have to justify ourselves to no man; when the Father will justify us. Why do we feel the need to try and explain who we are? Why have we given man so much power to dictate who we should be? So many saints walking around completely loss because people have ran their mouth and made you think that something is wrong with you. If you are loud be loud that's your personality that's what makes you so BOLD, if you are quiet be quiet that's what makes you so humble, if you are sensitive be sensitive that's what makes you so compassionate. We have to learn how to tear down the stronghold of control and negativity in our life. I remember some of the First Ladies used to tell me that because I was pretty I didn't need to wear any make up and not to wear in jewelry when I was in the pulpit and to wear my dresses long, and I did these things because I thought this is how God wanted me to be. But honey I found out that being saved and living holy does not mean being sad and looking poorly. God made each and every one of us UNIQUE, DIFFERENT, SPECIAL, and BEAUTIFUL, and has planted gifts and talents within each and everyone of us. You do not have to wish you had someone else life; meaning their husband, their anointing, their children, their sense of style when God has made us all an ORIGINAL and when you try and be someone that you are not, you are basically telling God that you are not pleased with what He created when He made you. This is why God can not flow through some of us the way He wants to because you are trying to be someone else. Don't be afraid to tell people to love you for you; and if they don't, love them anyhow and go about your business. The only person that we should be trying to be like is the GREAT MESSIAH. I love to talk, I am a giver, I love to shop till I drop, I am a compassionate person, I will cry with you, I am Bold and broken for the LORD, I love being a homemaker, I love the body that God has blessed me with, I am the head and not the tail, I am an achiever, I am a child of the most High, I am a royal priesthood, I am everything that GOD has said and called me to be, and I thank God for the boldness to say LOVE me, don't just tolerate me. See the word of God says'
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
