Oct 16, 2024: Define W.I.F.E.Y
Hey my beautiful buddies 🌻,
What does being a wife looks like to you?
After thinking on it 🤔 I couldn't define it 🤷🏽♀️ I don't know, i believe it's different for everyone, and during different times in anyones life, it's constantly changing🔄. Also, GOD created us all differently. Its hard for me to say this, but this morning, i was not going to tell it, I was afraid of being too honest on here. but after my revelations, i know i have to tell it all. We all won't be wives, but i wish to be one day. I had to check myself last year because I realized a fault in my thought pattern 😳
I can admit now how i have compared myself to others with negative thoughts of "how could he marry her, i could have been a better wife to him then she is, they don't even look compatible, if only he knew what type of woman he marrying, he wouldn't want her... "😬 Then the hate turned to myself "no one would marry me because of my past, I must have a family curse that keeps us from being happily married, no one would ever want a single mother with two kids, it's because of my sins, etc....." 🤦🏽♀️
I thank GOD those are no longer my thoughts 🙌🏼
I thought long and hard today to see if i wanted to share my deepest thoughts and went into prayer about it. GOD revealed the scriptures & messages below. That helped me open up to you'll.
🌻1 Samuel 16: 7
"But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."
🌻 Psalm 139:14-68
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
😱and if that wasn't enough clarity, I received a message from youtube that a new video was posted from Jerry Flowers Ministries....
🌻Title: Shame On You https://youtu.be/_su7aQH9Dko?si=oOzcFX5VTTWrgYxp
OMG 😲 these messages today slapped me all over to where i can't deny GOD loves us beyond our understanding, and spared no cost to rid our souls of the sin that separates us. I'm so thankful for His unconditional love and perseverance. I will remain humbled by Christ's selfless act!

In exploring the concept of being a wife, it’s important to recognize the diverse perspectives that shape this identity. The acronym W.I.F.E.Y, which stands for Willing, Invested, Faithful, Evolving, Yielding, serves as a framework for understanding what it means to be both a partner and an individual in a relationship. Being willing involves openness to change and growth, while being invested requires dedicating time and energy to nurturing relationships. Faithfulness is rooted in trust and commitment to spiritual beliefs, which can strengthen a marriage. Embracing evolution allows for personal improvement and adaptation over time, while yielding signifies a surrender to divine guidance in navigating life’s challenges. Each experience contributes to a unique understanding, allowing individuals to embrace their paths authentically. Many find that reflection through prayer and meditation reveals deeper truths about love, self-acceptance, and the journey towards a fulfilling life together. Engaging with biblical passages, such as 1 Samuel 16:7 and Psalm 139:14-16, highlights God’s perception of the heart over outward appearances, reinforcing the idea that true beauty and worth come from within. These insights can transform negative thought patterns and foster a sense of belonging and purpose. Ultimately, the journey to becoming a Proverbs 31 wife begins with understanding oneself first, emphasizing that no matter the past, everyone is worthy of love and a bright future filled with hope and joy.
