Am I Allowed To Be Beautiful?

1 Samuel 25:3 This man’s name was Nabal, and his wife, Abigail, was a sensible and beautiful woman. But Nabal, a descendant of Caleb, was crude and mean in all his dealings.

My Story:

When I was twenty years old, I moved to California after being stationed with the intentions of marrying someone. He was handsome and made me believe that he “had love for me”. However, God told me not to marry him… I didn’t marry him but I continued dating him. God told me that he was talking to someone else but of course I didn’t listen and…. He married someone else behind my back.

It hurt…

It hurt not only because one of our mutual friends knew and I had to find out by walking in on their conversation. But it hurt because she looked nothing like me. She was light skinned, petite, curly hair, and they partied together. I didn’t party, I went to church but I made time for him. I felt lied to and humiliated. It was even worst because even after they were married he just for some reason wanted to always friend me on social media or get in contact with me….

Then one day… God showed me who I was in Christ.. Abigail.

I listened to God after I got my closure for him, I blocked him… for good this time… and I let him go.

Not only that, I have decided that I am not going to attack the woman he is married to or hate her because she is light skin… God made her like he made me. There is nothing I can do about that. But I trust God… one day I’ll have my David and I’ll be like Abigail with a dash of Bathsheba (you don’t know when to shout).

Why am I saying this?

After bad relationships, you can’t hate a certain ethnicity because a man broke your heart. That’s not the will of God. Eve was the mother of all living. God said his House will be called a house of prayer for all nations…. So that means if you really love Jesus… you have to forgive.

Yes…

It hurt… I cried so many times… If only you knew . But there is a little piece in my heart that still trust God. It may be hard right now…. But its going to get better.

Psalms 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.

He Who Does Not Work Does Not Eat

I think we as Christians sometimes live in a smoke screen… and the truth is a lot of times believers can chase fantasies and be over wise (Ecclesiastes 7:16). One issue that I think we don’t address as women is…  Well… what do you do when you have a crush on a man?

Lately

I have been struggling so heavily with this and afterwards God came to me in a dream and opened my crushes mouth and said

“He who does not work does not eat”

Now the Bible says in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”

Basically.. God used my crush in a dream to rebuke me and tell me to get to work… Why ?

  • Rachel was a shepherd before she was married (Genesis 29:9)
  • Ruth gleaned in the field before she married BOAZ (Ruth 2:3)
  • Rahab had a house before a husband (Joshua 2:1)
  • And the Queen of Sheba had wealth before she went to King Solomon. The Bible says in 1 Kings 10:2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a long train of camels carrying spices, gold, and jewels: and she told him all her problems. (TLB)
A woman prays on her knees at sunset.

LOVE

1 Corinthians 13 and Song of Songs tells us that love is so beautiful and it is designed by God to be joy for us. However, with that being said you still have to work.

  • Another dream I had is girls begin to quit their jobs for the winter (8 weeks) to spend time with their boyfriends.

Sis… That’s not going to work out for you. Fantasy leads to poverty. You have to guard your heart and mind. You have to work. And if you do it God’s way (which is the right way) your work and work ethic will put you in position to be married.

  • Proverbs 12:9 Just be who you are and work hard for a living, for that’s better than pretending to be important and starving to death. 10 A good man takes care of the needs of his pets, while even the kindest acts of a wicked men are still cruel. 11 Work hard at your job and you’ll have what you need. Following a get-rich-quick scheme is nothing but a fantasy. (TPT)
  • Ezekiel 2:5

What am I saying ?

There is nothing wrong with desiring a husband. You need to be married… So you can stay out of other people’s business (1Thessalonians 4:10-12). Also, there is nothing wrong with having a crush but there is everything wrong with a fantasy…. FEAR GOD INSTEAD.

Don’t give the Devil a chance.

Matthew 27 NKJV

Devotion : Be Angry And Sin Not.

The Message Bible

Story : So I guess now would be a good time to tell everyone I’m a girl and I love being one. One of the things I love to do is get my nails done and what I do is put someone from the Bible name on them or Jesus or a cross. This particular moment I decide to put Rahab because …. you know well that’s my girl and I relate to her.

As I was getting my nails done. The nail tech just decided to push me that day . I mean I was hot. I tried hard to ignore the stupidity but .. I’m a mere mortal. I got angry . I yelled. I was frustrated . I was upset. I made her fix my nails and I honestly did not care how she felt… But then .. The Holy Spirit got me and made me apologize.

Even though I believed that she purposely provoked me I was wrong. What if there was another believer watching me and saw how I was acting ? What does the Bible say ?

Do not let what you regard as good get a bad name.
Romans 14:16 GNT
https://bible.com/bible/68/rom.14.16.GNT

I went there to show my love of beauty , being feminine, and how it works together with God . This is why the Holy Spirit rebuked me . Because I should not give the Devil a Chance.

The Bible Says

How clearly the sky reveals God’s glory! How plainly it shows what he has done! Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next. No speech or words are used, no sound is heard; yet their message goes out to all the world and is heard to the ends of the earth. God made a home in the sky for the sun; it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race. It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other. Nothing can hide from its heat. The law of the Lord is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the Lord are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it. The laws of the Lord are right, and those who obey them are happy. The commands of the Lord are just and give understanding to the mind. Reverence for the Lord is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the Lord are just; they are always fair. They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey. They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them. None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, Lord , from hidden faults! Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don’t let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin. May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you, O Lord , my refuge and my redeemer!
Psalm 19:1‭-‬14 GNT
https://bible.com/bible/68/psa.19.1-14.GNT

What is bothering you today ? Is it your co-worker ? Pray not my will but your will be done. Don’t you know that even David had to endure Saul ? Esther went through a trial? Rachel cried some times and Hannah was made fun of ? Rahab was known as a prostitute?

It’s going to be ok forgive those people and enjoy your good nights rest . Love you.

“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you. “When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. Do not be like them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven: May your holy name be honored; may your Kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need. Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us. Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.’ “If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.
