Sister to Sister

When my day seems bleak and my worries are many I am taken back
by the power of your promises

Thank you God for allowing me to cry when I need to, fall when I get
besides myself, elevated when it's my season, and stand firm against
opposition, and above all staying committed to the "One Man" that
loves me unconditionally, "You!!'

Today I will thoroughly digest a situation before making an effort to
verbally smooth over the rough edges especially if my response may
not be well fancied

I try best as I can to maintain a level of integrity and self respect,
but sometimes that is a difficult task because those that are unsure
of themselves tend to challenge me to bring me down to their level

Unfortunately I will not allow you to take up negative space in my
mind or suck the life out of me with your never ending drama filled existence

I pride myself in being a woman of God, I carry myself as such, and
expect you to recognize

No matter how insecure you are with your self image that will not
change the way I feel about myself

However because I do not believe in kicking a person when they are
down, I will continue to pray for you, encourage you and lift you up
when I can

But I can not do that as long as you allow yourself to be mistreated

If the man you love does nothing to encourage your dreams, puts you
down every chance he gets, belittles your accomplishments to make
himself look great and never acknowledges you in public you are on a
fast track to misery.

Truth is if he was never taught any better is is sometimes difficult to
expect him to do better. Even though it may be extremely painful,
sometimes you just have to walk away for the sake of saving yourself
and allowing God to heal you.

In God's eyes you are wonderfully and beautifully made and He will
always love you unconditionally no matter what.

This season in your life is only temporary and God will use this time
to strengthen your relationship with Him to show you firsthand what
it feels like to be pursued by a man that genuinely loves you

I haven't always been the woman you see before you, but because I
was once where you are now, I know how it feels

So from now until you tell me otherwise I will be your sounding board
when you are unsure of your purpose

I will be there to dry your tears when the pain becomes unbearable

I will hold you up when you can no longer stand on your own

And I will pray for you consistently so that your self-worth is once
again elevated

And when God has brought you through your season of healing, I will
gladly pass your this baton

Then you will feel the excitement I feel now when it is your turn to
"pay it forward" when the next sister comes along and needs a rock
on which to stand

Be Blessed,

Lady 4.0
