Being Content

There is a great gift in being content with who you are and that gift is called internal joy\happiness.As we celebrate woman's month;I would like to remind women that the best character they can have is contentment.When you are content,you will know how to love yourself the way you are,you won't wait for your friend,parent,siblings or the man in your life to tell you that you are beautiful or need their approval to live your life.When a person do however tell you that you are beautiful it will be a confirmation.You will know that you were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and it took our Daddy sometime to create a beautiful creation like you,taken from a man's rib(wow isn't it that great to know).

You wouldn't be jealous of any person or rather say woman's achievements.If they paid lobola for your friend and you are still searching for Mr right,no need to be jealous,if your friend bought a car or a house,no need to be jealous,if she bought a new beautiful outfit,no need to be jealous,just remember that God's timing is the best and God knows our heart's desires and He will supply all your needs according to His riches in heaven.Some hinder themselves from receiving because of their wicked hearts,remember God looks into the heart.Who seeks more than he needs,hinders herself from enjoying what she has.Seek what you need and give up what you do not need,for in giving up what you don't need,you will learn what you really need.Learn to be happy with those who are happy and to mourn with those who mourn.The bible teaches us to love our neighbours as ourselves not to see threats in them.

Proverbs also talks about gossip mongers,do you want to be a woman who stands by the fence and gossip about everything you see or hear,do you want to be a woman who always there are people at your doorstep coming to confront you,women lets aspire to be admired by all,let's be women who our children,husbands and boyfriend will love and be proud of.

Teach yourself to appreciate what you have,who you are,where you come from and build your future therefore according to what you want to see youeself accomplish and accept dissapointments and failures as learning curves not defeat,remembering that we are more than conquerors through Christ the Lord.Do you want to be a victim of abuse because you think you need love or acceptance?If you are content,you will know what you want and how you want to be treated.As I matured in Christ I learned to be content with who I am,I love myself the way I am with my dark skin and big nose as I grew up being teased that way,that's makes me the Kulani that I am because I was created by God into His image and I am beautiful(Psalm 139:4).

In the book of proverbs,it says:A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,a sad face makes a despondent mood,all the days of a poor person were wretched but contentment is a feast without end.John 10:10 Jesus came that we may have life and have it to the fullest.

Happy woman's month,teach yourselves the values of a woman and enjoy life to the fullest.
