Virtuous Speaks

Recently, I've revisited a dream that was deferred.

Love has long eluded me and I'd given up hope of such an "idea". No man in my visible realm had the qualifications to fill the prayers I'd prayed and so; I became a little uncertain that such a man existed. Thank God for His ways and His timing... I have recently been reintroduced to the idea of love;but, not just any kind of love. I am speaking specifically of "the God-kind of love". A love where lust is not involved; rather, genuine appreciation and respect for the character, commitment and beauty of Spirit (okay, and natural) of another. This is the kind of foundation that can bring forth a lasting relationship. Dare I say more... NAH, at least not on that topic. What I'd like to share tonight is something written when I first began to dream the dream...


Virtuous Speaks
(Proverbs 31: 10-31 is one of my favorites, I've studied it so long that one night many years ago the enemy challenged me about who I was and this is what emerged out of my Spirit.)
.........................................................................................

I am a woman of virtue, integrity, success and high moral standards. A woman of intelligence and power. I am dependable and strong; a woman of influence and affluence. I am a woman who knows her value and worth. A woman of substance, kindness and wisdom. I am a keen entrepreneur with business savvy and style. I dress to impress; my designs are well sought after. I am kindhearted, caring for those around me, always ready to give a kind word or a sweet smile.

I am confident in who and whose I am. I am loving and am loved. I honor and respect my husband, I protect my husband; he is well taken care of and never has to doubt my loyalty. I take care of my children; making sure he and they have everything that they need. My home is in order and my finances are in order. My clothing businesses are successful and fruitful. I sell what I make; but, not before putting the best of everything in my home.

I own land that I purchased with the income I receive. My husband is a blessed man because he knows who he is and what a prize he has in me. He is a man of integrity also. A man of influence and affluence; a man worthy to be loved, honored and cherished and I do so because I receive the same things from him. We honor our marriage and the ONE who gave it to us. We honor each other, knowing we are each other's missing part. We are mates in spirit and in soul. We love each other and we love ourselves. We are complete in God who created us and joined us together. We are blessed...I am blessed. He recognizes me as a jewel, and asset; a woman of distinct value and purpose. A woman who's irreplaceable in his heart and in his life. I am a woman whose significance in his life makes his ministry that much more powerful because no matter what, I have his back.

I am a Woman of Destiny and he sees in me all he's ever desired in a woman. I am a woman of passion, he has no need of another. I am his missing rib and I complete him perfectly as he completes me. Our union is awesome and others don't understand; however, the secret of its true power is the first entity in it. We are both people who reverence the Lord and He keeps us tightly woven together because a three-fold cord is not easily broken. We have been sealed and stamped with approval from God Almighty, who created us for one another. What God has put together; let no man, woman, or thing put it asunder.
