Whatever Happened To....

women respecting themselves and falling in love with who God created them to be?
What happened to respecting yourself too much to allow a man (or woman nowadays) to mistreat you?
Why is the focus on needing a relationship rather than needing wholeness within oneself?
I see too many of my sisters, friends, women in general, settling to simply have someone to cling to
When these very women do not know who they are
They have not taken the time to get to know this awesome creature whom God handcrafted
They do not know that God has made them valuable and unique
That if they valued themselves as God values them, they would not settle for anything less than what HE has planned for them.
I am tired of seeing my sisters - women of any race, creed, color or religion - devaluing themselves
Wake up
Open your mind, heart, ears and know
Know that you were created for greatness
Know that no other person can place value on you because God already has
No other person can name you because God has
You were not formed from a mold
You were created individually and with a purpose
Only in the creator can the creation truly understand its worth
Sisters we have got to set a standard
If we demand respect, it will be given
Others only go as far as we allow them
Stand up and become who you were created to be
