Society Says....

Society says according to statistics I’ll live in poverty because I’m a black young single mother, but Romans 8:37 says “No despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who love us. Society looks down on me because I have a child but Psalm 127:3 says “behold children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb”. Society says if I’m not super skinny or super thick with long straight hair I’m not attractive, but 1Samuel 16:7 says but The Lord said to Samuel “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his statue, because I have rejected him. For The Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but The Lord looks on the heart. Society says it’s okay to allow people to touch you or to change your body to appeal others, but 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says “or do you not know that your body is a temple of The Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body”. Society tells men its okay to be single and chase different women, but Genesis 2:18 says then The Lord said “it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a helper FIT for him”. Society says “love knows no gender”, but Leviticus 20:13 says “if a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they surely be put to death: their blood is upon them”.

As I wrote this a million things society says ran through my mind, I just can’t write them all. The funny thing is everything “society says” the bible addresses it!! There really is nothing new under the sun. God knew “society” would say certain things today just as they did back in the day, to influence or discourage us in our situations. That is why we look to him. That is why we seek what God knows about us and not what people of this world thinks about us. We are to be pleasing God. Nobody walking this earth today died for your sins, they didn’t save you, and their opinion doesn’t matter. Love to please Jesus, live to make him smile and be proud of you. Understand his love is like no other. You can search the world, but you’ll NEVER find a man’s love that’s as gentle and kind as Jesus’!

-Proverbs 31:30 “charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears The Lord is to be praised.”

If you love someone tell them

I love you
