Just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction knowing that I am. Keep listening to and learning the things I tell you. Just wait, that's all.
I LOVE this line and this weekend as I've prayed over this prayer, I keep going over and over this line. Women sometimes do not expect the greatest things for themselves. I know growing up, I had very low expectations because of the society around me. "Men aren't going to give you all that you want." "Men aren't perfect." etc. etc. etc. The thing is; however, we're beautiful women of God and we are to expect greatness. While no man is without sin, we are to look to God for the man he makes for us.
"Just wait. That's all."
I did not expect the greatest for myself, even if I told myself that I did. In my life I have often settled in relationships. I felt the pressure of having a date to the dance, going out on Friday night, not being lonely, or just having a boyfriend in general. I think that this is one of the reasons that it is so hard for ladies to get out of relationships that are unhealthy. The pressures of the world come down on us and we think that we need someone, whoever is available, to be our significant other. While I was single for a little while in college I was able to truly evaluate these relationships and understand that I cannot settle for less than was meant for me. God wants to give me the greatest things, and I have to believe that. When I was able to fully believe that, the greatest thing was shining right in front of me.
