Covering our Sockets...





Covering your socket...

Covering your socket...

The importance of guarding our hearts (Proverbs 4:23)...TD Jakes explains it well in His version of the NKJ Bible when he says that women are like open sockets and men are like plugs.

When a woman is married, her socket is covered by her husband and he is the shield that protects her in their covenant...when a woman is single (and by this single means NOT MARRIED), she is open and vulnerable and needs to ensure that she is covered by God and His shield of protection so that no other kind of "funny plug" or “non fitting plug” can try to come into her socket when it’s not supposed to be there...
Now this is not only referring to sex ladies...I'm talking about engaging in both emotional and physical relations for the wrong reasons...yearning to be covered by m a n who is 'flawful' instead of God who knows our hearts and has our health, safety and wellbeing @ heart.
In Lady in waiting, Jackie Kendall and Debby Jones talk about how us women are so focused on becoming ‘women’ by the worlds standards and definitions, that we are under the impression that our lives only ‘begin’ once we become wives, mothers or when we become noticed by men and are complimented by them – depending on that reassurance to define who we are!
Wanting to be defined by man’s words (including other women) can lead us to a place of self destruction...the journey one has to go through to achieve that level of so called “beauty” and “worth” makes us forget about our open sockets...allowing ourselves to be open to unwanted chaos...and Sometimes ... it’s not even just about “beauty”...it’s about our egos being stroked...We like to be adored...
When I look back @ my life, even though I know that the hardships I went through and the mistakes that I made make me the stronger and wiser woman I am today, I wish I could have known better...I wish that I was more careful about what and who I let plug into my socket!!!!
What I have learnt is...man will always be man and he will always have flaws...it’s the connection through God that defines mans’ worth...
It’s so important to have sisters, older and younger so that we can be poured into and also overflow and pour into others...my little sisters...if there's anything I can leave you with from this post is: make sure that you are diligent and allow God to be your covering, your first love and especially your primary point of reference...my sister sisters and older sisters...we have alllll been through DRAMA! We all have a story to share and I'm sure that we are better people today because of those experiences...
This one was lead by the spirit ya’ll...a Revelation...Deep times...
