Finding my worth

You know what?

I have come to realise that as women...young women, it is very important that we understand our worth.
As Daddy's Princess, you are far more precious than rubies. You are a pearl of great price who must not throw herself down for pigs to feed on. Do not be the ring on the snout of a pig... you will only be put in a sludge...always.

This morning, on my way to work, I came to an understanding that as an individual, when you know your worth and are unwilling to settle for less, you will be amazed at the incredible and unimaginable options available for you to choose from. I know that the first thing that will come to mind for some of you will be concerning the choice of spouse but when I say this, I mean same for other choices we may have to make in future... like choosing to come to Ghana to develop your country rather than choosing to work in a developed country to make so much money.

Even on the matter of being single and choosing a spouse, Sinach said something I so love! She said that true(I added this) contentment does not come from our would-be spouses or from anything else than the knowing that we are fulfilling Daddy's call on our lives. That is all that matters.

I would add that indeed, our worth does not come from what a man may say about us but rather from what is written in Daddy's books concerning us. I had an interesting conversation with a friend and after listening to all that he said, there was a mental picture formed in my head of how effulgent in confidence I would be after hearing him talk about my worth. In a split second, my correct-self addressed me by reminding me that his opinions of me should not be the measuring rod for which I assess myself. Because come to think of it... if a man's opinion of me is what makes me confident in myself, then what happens if that man tells me that I am worthless? That is sure case of low self-esteem coming up! You know what, God's opinion of me is all that matters because at the end of the day, my life's work is truly before an audience of ONE. 

...that was a re-calibration for me right there :)... check out Sharing Life's post titled, "CALIBRATE". 

How easy we sometimes tilt towards that line of believing that what a man may say about us is all that matters. Chale. 

Still, I need more WORD in my system to confidently carry myself in the manner that I should.

It is well ooo

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

An Invitation to Intimacy

  I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School.  I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed.  That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone.  When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriously, I would easily m

Day One: Daddy's secret place

For weeks now, prior to today, I have heard the same message from different preachers. Not to say that I deliberately went looking for them but these kept resounding in my ears and in my spirit. God Is Good. God Is Great...and He loves me. I believe that He wants to speak to me. He wants to share His heart with me. I need Him too. I need the fullness He brings. I want to find that secret place Psalm 91 talks about. I believe I will find Him. I believe that I will know Him. I believe I will never be satisfied and that I will need more and more of Him as I seek Him. I pray that you find Him and dwell in Him as you thirst for intimacy with Jesus also. I believe there is Grace available for this. May God grace you to seek Him. In Jesus'name, amen <Yesterday, I made two friends...Jennifer and her son, Enock. Kindly say a prayer for them today...as led to by Holy Spirit>
