I want to be like her.
"She is so beautiful.. so godly.. such a wonderful wife and mom. I want to be like her."
As I sat on the floor of my bedroom praying this morning.. it hit me. I want to be like her. I want to love God the way she does. I want to desire to be at His feet every minute of my day like she does. I want the beauty that is reflected in my face and my life to be a result of spending time with Him. I want to be as beautiful as she is because of the time she spends with Him. I want to be like her.
She is a loving wife.. always giving of herself to meet the needs of her husband. She maintains a delicate balance in taking care of him and taking care of herself. She knows the value of making sure she is healthy, because without that, she can't take care of anyone. Putting herself first in a few things is not bad.. it's necessary. Then she is in a better position to tend to the one she loves. Her husband is so happy, so full of life and fun. That's a result of how wonderfully she takes care of him. I want to be like her.
Speaking of the ones she loves, they adore her! They know that God has given them a godly mom who is always looking out for their physical needs, but also their spiritual needs. She never lets them lack in either area. They are great children who love others in a way that can only be from the way that they learned love.. from her. They even reflect her thoughtful heart of care in those who they are with. I want to be like her.
She is a precious daughter of the King, and she guards her heart and mind as such. She is royalty.. and she knows it! She will not believe the lies of the enemy when he tries to tell her she is nothing. She knows better.. she knows the truth. She will not allow her eyes to see things they shouldn't. She will not listen to things she shouldn't. She will not speak things that she shouldn't. Her character and integrity are vital to her. She will not compromise. I want to be like her.
Funny thing is.. that is who He created me to be. It's a result of my choices ..wrong choices.. that has put a gap between who I am and her. Today, I will begin my journey back to who He created me to be. I want to be like her.
