2:04 PM Aug 27th from Tweetie

Do you realize that you are worth dying for?

You don’t need to give yourself away to someone who won’t give himself to you. You don’t need to use your body to get what you need. It’s a cop out for not being a certain kind of woman – a woman of dignity and honor.

Some women only know how to relate to men by making a series of transactions. They want to be wanted, and the man wants, well, the man wants what lots of men want. So they trade. Essentially they strike a deal with men, time and time again.

I have what you want, and you have what I want, so let’s make a deal. I need this, you need that.

Some women learn at an early age how to negotiate. They need to be loved, to be validated, to be worth something, and they discover that by giving a little of themselves to a boy, they get what what the need in return. It’s a cycle, a pattern that can stay with them their entire lives.

Sex becomes a search. A search for something they’re missing. A quest for the unconditional embrace. And so they go from relationship to relationship, looking for what they already have.

This search is about that need.

But sex is not the search for something that’s missing. It’s the expression of something that’s been found. It’s designed to be the overflow, the culmination of something that a man and a woman have found in each other. It’s a celebration of this living, breathing thing that’s happening between the two of them.

You don’t need a man by your side to validate you as a woman. You already are loved and valued. You’re good enough exactly as you are. Do you believe this? Because it’s true? You have limitless worth and value. If you embrace this truth, it will affect every area of life, especially your relationship with men.

You are worth dying for.

Your worth does not come from your body, your mind, your work, what you produce, what you put out, how much money you make. Your worth does not come from whether or not you have a man. Your worth does not come from whether or not men notice you. You have inestimable worth that comes from your creator.

You will continue to be tempted in a thousand different ways not to believe this. The temptation will be to go searching for your worth and validity from places other than your creator.

Especially from men.

But you don’t have to give yourself away to earn a man’s love. You’re better than that. You’re already loved.

When you give too much of yourself away too quickly, when you show too much skin, you’re not being true to yourself. When you dress to show us everything, then in some sense we have all shared in it, or at least been exposed to it. There is a mystery to you, infinite depth and endless complexity.

As the woman says in Song of Songs, “My own vineyard is mine to give.” In the ancient Near East, a vineyard was a euphemism for sexuality. She is saying that she doesn’t give herself to just anyone. She is fully in control of herself, and she is not cheap and she is not easy.

Your strength is a beautiful thing. And when you live in it, when you carry yourself with the honor and dignity that are yours, it forces the men around you to relate to you on more than just a flesh level.

You are worth dying for.

Those are the words that made me cry. I see myself in them. I’ve made bad choices because I wanted to feel loved and feel validated. I put my worth in something other than God. I still struggle with this. I don’t know when I’ll be able to change. It’s not as easy as reading these words and flipping a switch in my brain. But it’s a start.

Real Men.

Real Women.

 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

I leaned over to my friend and said to her, “We’re in God’s mouth! I wonder if we taste salty to Him?”

Which immediately reminded me of this post.

My friend remarked, “Isn’t it weird how eating salty things make you want more salt? Like a potato chip – you can’t eat just one.”

That’s kind of cool imagery, isn’t it? Not necessarily being all spitty and slobbery in God’s mouth – but that we do have a taste to God and when that taste is what it should be, He wants more.

That’s why we fell in love with Vista Print when we discovered it. We were able to order fully customized business cards for the home business at a very reasonable rate. When they arrived, they were fully professional – they didn’t look like something we had printed ourselves on the old inkjet in the basement.

The best part is that Vista does way more than just business cards. Stationary, invitations, letterhead, labels – even rubber stamps. You can get virtually anything you need printed from Vista Print. They will even design your logo for you. And you don’t have to order in bulk. Many printers would require you to buy thousands of sheets of letterhead, even if you only needed a ream or two. That’s a definite bonus.

And right now they have some pretty Cheap Checks - and if you use the coupon code “BlogFreeChecks08″ you’ll get 25 free checks when you checkout!

I have a thing for office supplies – don’t ask me why, I couldn’t tell you. If I had an unlimited disposable income, I would certainly be ordering up a storm from these folks. I would have personalized sticky notes, personalized notepads, personalized rubber stamps… personalized everything!

If you have a need in your life for a printer – take a peek at Vista Print. They’re worth it.

Do It Lord

I see your sons and daughters prophesying
Seeing visions, your old men dreaming dreams
I see Your glory covering the earth, Lord
Just as the waters are covering the sea

I see the blind gazing at Your beauty
I see the lame dancing strong and free
I see the millions coming to salvation
I see revival fire in the land

Do it Lord, do it Lord,
Do it Lord we are praying,
Do it Lord, do it that your glory may be seen

I see the lost and nameless ones remembered
I see the widows shouting out your praise
I see the friendless loved and celebrated
Orphans fulfilling, Lord, Your calling on their lives

I see forgiveness overtaking hatred
Pride and prejudice now giving way to love
I see depression replaced with joy and gladness
And Satan’s lies now bowing to the Truth

Do it Lord, do it Lord,
Do it Lord we are praying,
Do it Lord, do it that your glory may be seen

This is our prayer O God
This is our desperate cry
In these days that we’re living now
Let Your kingdom come let your will be done

I see the brokenness of families brought to wholeness
I see the prodigals running home to You
Father’s hearts now turning toward their children
And the children’s hearts turning toward their father’s

I see Your Church rising up in power
Laying down their lives in unity and love
I hear the sounds of every tribe and nation
Giving glory to Jesus Christ the Son

Do it Lord, do it Lord,
Do it Lord we are praying,
Do it Lord, do it that your glory may be seen

This is our prayer O God
This is our desperate cry
In these days that we’re living now
Let Your kingdom come let your will be done

Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
Let it be on earth as it is in heaven, amen

I especially love the second and third verses – pride and prejudice giving way to love and the brokenness of families brought to wholeness.

Good stuff.
