WOMAN [Lacking an Identity]
The woman who knows not who she is
Lets take it back to when she was just a “kid”
The one who looked around to fit in
Looked right, left, ahead, to her past behind, but never ABOVE!
Picked traits form other folk, an identity she desperately tried to have,
Her hollowness she tried to cover up
For many yrs, she stashed in what the world told her
She was a merely a teenager
A young adolescent, so everything seemed “Major”
At the point, she believed anything and everyone thrilled her
Sweet lies deceived her
Many a time she believed he was “THE ONE”
But sadly she discovered he was just “another one”
Who toiled with her innocence and naivety
Left her broken and crushed in spirit, the minute,
He found out she was pregnant with his baby
Typical story right?
This is the part she decides to bear the pain by taking that 9 month walk of shame
But she decided to ditch plan B-aby, and go with A
A-BORT instead
After all, it is only a fetus
A lifeless being
That has no say, but one that evidently took up the blame….?
Let me get a bit graphical so that we can all take a moment in giving a chance to this voiceless un-hatched vertebrate
Who was nullified and terminated
His little self, scrapped and scrubbed out-his growth interrupted
Life-less! Life-less? How can he/she be any less of a life than you and me
When we all started out as just a seed
Or did I miss something? Were we born with a special tag written-“DO NOT DISTURB UNTIL BIRTH?!”
The deed is done,
No looking back and ahead doesn’t seem pleasing either!
The moment itself isn’t appealing!
Fast forward, years on
She’s still stuck in momentary insanity and partial depression
Medicating herself to sleep and oozing intoxication
Any drug-any substance to make her forget her situation
Irony is she feels like she lost a kid!
I repeat- she feels like she lost a KID!
A child and not a seed
A baby-a life-a person, not a fetus
So we watch her mourn-No black veil, no casket
A funeral service takes place within and sadly she is the only one who attends it.
I am a woman like any other. I, too, have passed through the worldly phases most of us women succumb to: phases of low self-esteem issues, identity crisis, and all the bad habits that come with these two.
I, too, found myself stuck in the darkness that this world presents in a “light” manner. Most women have found themselves lured into alcoholism, smoking and some even fell victim to drug addictions at a young age. We somehow learned about sex too soon and fed our curiosity even sooner knowing well how the tale of the curious cat ended. Little is what we learned in the church about it and plenty “safe sex” morals from the world educated the most of us. We enjoyed little of this mystery of self discovery, with many life threatening or life changing lessons, bearing much regret to show for it. We chose to live and learn for ourselves the hard way when we could have easily learned from the mistakes of the women before us. Above all, we remained oblivious to the fact that we are the daughters of God. Daughters of the Most High! Daughters of Zion! Women beautifully and wonderfully made [Psalms 139:14]. Women of worth and off great value to this world. [Proverbs 31:10-Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.]
So why, again, are we deceived into thinking and living well below our status? Why are we living like slaves to the bondage of this world and not like The King’s daughters?
Why are we foolishly awakening love before its time with every guy who smiles at us when we’ve been charged not to, thrice in the Song of Solomon? [verse 2:7. 3:5, 8:4.] Why do we abort these seeds of that awakened and premature love when we have been given no right to take anyone’s life?
Deception sums its up! We’ve been deceived by the enemy for far too long through worldly systems on how to dress, behave and even “love.” We are sadly conformed to these patterns, generation after generation, leaving little or less of a legacy to go by as women for the younger ones who follow.
I, too, know of a girl who aborted and this is my piece to her and anyone out there who has been through it. This is to remind you of your worth. A reminder of how precious you are in God’s eyes. You are purposed for greatness and of much profit to this world. Don’t settle for less, my dear.
That bad relationship that you’re holding on to will cost you so much more. Don’t cling to a man who doesn’t cling to God. Don’t allow yourself to be deceived that no one else will love you when God’s love for you surpasses knowledge and His Only Son died to prove it. [John 3:16.]
Let go and let God. Leave and cleave onto our Heavenly Father.
You may have been this woman lacking an identity but you can choose to become A WOMAN [REDEEMED]. The Bible is filled with imperfect women, whose lives found meaning after they found forgiveness in Christ.
I’m reminded of the story of the immoral woman who washed Jesus’ feet with her hair and tears, which portrays her despair and desperation at the time, though Christ chose to forgive her right there and then – when she had reached the end of herself. [Luke 7:38-50.]
If you have aborted in the past, He is willing to forgive and restore all that which you have lost. You no longer have to allow yourself to be defined by the mistakes in your past for you are made new, a new creation in Christ. [2 Corinthians 5:17.]
You have been granted a new identity; for your identity is and can only be found solely in Christ. So stop wondering about WHO you are any longer, and as a wise friend of mine always says, focus on WHOSE YOU ARE, and He shall give your life meaning.
I am WOMAN [REDEEMED].
