Why can’t she see
what I see?---I think you’re Beautiful
It’s hard being a woman. But today as I walked outside with
the cold wind slapping me in my face with the sun shining, I found myself
saying out loud, “I love being a woman.”
Not to brag, but there’s not a day that goes by that a man
passes me by and says, “You’re beautiful, you look nice, hello miss, or excuse
me your man must be happy, some even honk their horns. “While I find pleasure
in this most of the time, I still find myself thinking I wonder if they can see
what I see inside of me.
I’m single but trust that Im actually fine with that title
especially after just hearing from one
of my dearest friends that I love so much tell me about how miserable she is in
her marriage. This girl is Beautiful, if you were too see her out and about you wouldn’t even know the
hell that she goes through in her house daily. From the outside looking in
their life appears to be perfect, two strikingly beautiful people with gorgeous
kids, living in their dream home sharing their lives….Well that’s what she
thought until he didn’t want the world to see his beautiful wife anymore. As she said, “I feel like I lost myself
Erica. This ain’t me. I’ve lost all of my friends. I’m not going to have
anything once he’s gone.”
As a friend we always want to give advice because from the
outside looking in we have the perfect solution. And for this reason, I’ve always found myself
wondering, “Why can’t she see what I see?”
On the other hand, here I am. Beautiful, smart, talented and
single. Some of my friends don’t understand why I don’t have a man. I believe
it’s because I’m not ready to “lose myself”or be so in love that I lose
everything and everyone that I care about for one person. Why cant they see what I see?
On the other hand, I have other friends that want a man so
bad that they eagerly accept the first guy that says hello pretty lady. I’ve
been there before but after I realized I was just wasting time, I let go of
that bad habit just as quick as it started.
Again these are beautiful women with choices-why can’t they see what I
see?
Just typing this reminds me of a praise and worship song
that I love, There’s a King in you. It goes something like this, ‘Don’t you
see the king in you? Then why do you speak with such insecurity, Do you know
there’s a king in you? then why do you
speak with such defeat. '
Every day I listen to women talk about this and that in
regards to wanting and needing a man. I’m glad I’m at a place where I can
honestly say I’m fine because I am. I’m glad I realized that there’s one “man”
that loves me more than I love myself and that man is Christ. And until I meet
the man that has the same love for Christ as me, I’ll stay single.
So as I bow my head today, I’m praying for all my friends
that ‘need a man or want a man so bad that they lose their self.” I hope one day they can see what I see. And
that is that you’re beautiful because there’s a King that lives right inside of
you. My king wants the best for you. This is the only person that I’m willing
to lose myself for. I don’t care what others think about me, I know the Cost of
following Jesus. Connect to the spirit loves, so that YOU CAN, see what I see. Love Erica ©2012
