Press On

You know, it’s really hard to wait. Lately I’ve been seeing some examples of women who are tired of waiting. Yeah, we can take that sentence as far as the aspect of choosing to have sex before marriage, but that is not the full intent of my previous words. In looking about I am seeing women who are just plain tired of waiting for God’s will. There are women who are tired of trying to uphold His standard in their lives. And there are women who are tired of feeling incomplete. They’re just plain tired. And so in their lives they are selling themselves short, whether through sex, or needing a boyfriend, or even homosexuality. See, in all these situations, women are seeking for completion. The media really helps fuel the inbred need for completion. How many movies out there depict a woman “lost without her beloved”? And the thing that kills me are the “Christian” videos that show the same “helpless”, incomplete, searching, lost woman who inevitably finds her phenomenal love-life (whether it's prior to marriage or not) and picturesque lifestyle in her cookie-cutter house with her gorgeous husband who supplies her every emotional and physical need. What is that? Slowly those who are seeking His standard in their lives fall victim to the repetition of the worldly messages. Don't listen to the lies, women of God. Please, don't listen.

I cannot run the race for you. I am struggling to keep my own head afloat in the suffocating waves of destructive messages that this generation seems to be promoting.

But women who are truly running after God’s heart,
Women who are seeking His kingdom and not this fleeting one,
Women who are staking their foundation upon our Completer,

Women… press on! Press on sisters and help each other press on!
Please, whatever you do, just remember… Jesus is so worth it!!!



Jesus is worth it.
