You’ve Been A Queen

By: Oronde Bolden

There are some of you who never had the father figure to show you what to look for in a man. Then there’s some of you who had a male figure in your life, but it’s almost like they were never there while you were growing up. Then there’s some who have had the example of what it’s like to be loved and what to look for in a man. He may not have been perfect, but he did his best. May you all be blessed by it.

Over time, you’ve been in relationships with guys who never really knew who they were. You didn’t know that their insecurities played a big part in their lives. That part in their lives that was not dealt with played a part in how they treated you. Some of you went from guy to guy to seek confidence, perfect love, self worth, peace and joy. Only to find out that this imperfect person couldn’t love you perfectly. You’ve been a wife, you’ve been a queen to someone who didn’t respect your worth. You’ve given him things that only a wife could give to her husband. But the problem was that he wasn’t your husband. Don’t you know your worth? If you did, you wouldn’t settle for just anyone. You are worth more than you are settling for. Jesus seen you and said “I loved her enough that I died for her.” He’s seen your flaws, and still loved you. He wants to keep you covered and protected from men who have no good intentions. Question is, will you receive that protection or will you step out of it because a “man” looks nice or is saying sweet things to you? You were made for the Father. This world tells you through social media, television, music and magazines that “this is how you should love”, “this is how you should look”, “this is how you should dance”, “this, this, this” and none of it is what Father God has purposed you for. I’m praying that you see this and respect yourself more. Realize who Jesus is and you’ll see who you are in Him. Don’t settle for less, don’t give into temptation, stay pure, humble and wait for the king that the King has purposed you for. Understand that you’ve been a queen, and the Lord is that Door🙏🏾
