The Woman In My Mirror

The Woman In My Mirror

Last night, I took some time to look at the woman in my mirror.

Instead of a Fog of Deception, I can see her a little clearer.

I say that I can see her a little clearer because I can still see streaks of doubt.

Doubt that speaks to me daily, "who have I become, is this what being saved is all about?"

You see, I've gone through some rough things in my life and if it had not been for the grace of God that is on my side, I would've gone insane.

Like Paul said "For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do" so I'm still in bondage to some chains.

The chains of passion which causes me to go creeping in night.

You see, I am saved and single but I love to wake up with a man laying next to me but I know it is not right.

However, Is it right for me to stop giving away the thing which has for many years caused me so much pleasure?

The thing that really bothers me is that I gave it away freely, I did not stop the pirate from stealing my treasure.

Now, I am beginning to realize that the woman in my mirror has changed.

I realize, that God is trying to release me from the chains of passion, no longer will I wake up in the morning feeling ashamed.

Instead of giving my treasure away freely, I need to embrace Ruth's demeanor.

You see, Ruth had faith In The God of Naomi who lead Ruth to Boaz who is a Kinsman's Redeemer.

Boaz paid a price to redeem Ruth as his bride, she did not give herself to him without a cost.

Now, I am determined to be like Ruth so until the day I get married, I will keep my legs crossed.
