It is now time to raise the standard. As women (both unwed and married), we have tolerated mistreatment and abuse for too long. Now before you shut me out, please read the full content. I am neither a feminist nor a man-hater. I am one who is seeking the truth about myself as a woman according to God's standards. That is the standard that I want to raise...not my own standard.
I am a woman who has come through sexual abuse, emotional abuse and self-abuse. All of these experiences have taught me one thing...my standard was too low. I did not expect to be treated with dignity and respect. I did not expect for someone to value you me outside of my body parts. I did not expect for anyone to handle me delicately as though I was a precious jewel. I did not expect for people to appreciate my innocence without attempting to manipulate and control me. I simply did not know that my standard was too low.
Today, God is teaching me a great deal about who I am as His daughter. In the coming days, I will be sharing more about raising God's standard for our lives as women.
Blessings,
Mary
