SWEET EMBRACE

As I observe life and the difficulties we face expressing and sharing our need to be loved, I find it quite interesting that most of us single people deny what we need the most. Think about it, we can be independently strong and create a home filled with peace. We can even physically satisfy ourselves if that need be so. But there is something that we can not do for ourselves. And, that something is what every living soul needs.

Before I tell you what I feel it is, I want you to think about a new born baby. For sure he or she needs the hands of others to survive. In fact, it has been said if a child is not held or touched,he or she could actually die. We have to hold babies close to us to make them feel safe and secure. Guess what? Adults need the same thing to continue to grow and feel healthy and secure.

A person who has not been held or lovingly embraced by someone who really loves and care about them is a person who is less than he or she could be. Not saying single people are not strong in their survival. No doubt we are that. We can survive and make the best of things with what we have. We can provide f or others and still have a lot to give ourselves to survive. But we can not embrace ourselves. There is nothing like a sweet embrace from someone who downright loves you.

So many people today are dying for a sweet embrace so much so they seek it from untrusting sources and at times abnormal sources. Woman to woman embraces, man to man embraces usually come about due to giving up on the she and he embraces that made our species strong and able to develop into spiritual and loving beings.

In fact. so many of the criminals locked behind bars are people who needed a sweet embrace. Something about a loving embrace can calm the savage beast in us. People who have become distant from others and won't allow anyone to embrace them do this because they are starving and fear weakness would result the moment the embrace is received. So they create a thick wall ensuring the embrace does not take place.

Being that we are creatures of habit, our early beginnings of being loved, held, nurtured and held close does not die. Our memory banks hold dear to those moments of being loved and secured in the hands of our mother and loved ones. A child acting out after another sibling is born is begging to have his or her sweet embrace recaptured in their lives. Many children are ignored as the family numbers increase. What we end up with is children going out into the world going through withdrawal--a need to be embraced by someone who loves them dearly.

Hugs are nice when we receive them. To be embraced in a hug is the transferring of love from one person to another. I know as a single woman, I take good care of my self but I cannot embrace my self and this alone lets me know we were not born to be alone. Each person in the world was born to be embraced their whole lives but due to selfish priorities, lonely people walk the earth accepting they just may not be embraced or loved by anyone.

I personally embrace those who allow me because I know in doing so, healing can take place in their spirit and body. We all have a sweet embrace to share. Please do not let it go to waste. Go away embrace your fellowman. Just maybe, you may be their healer for this season. With these words, I embrace you all.

MINISTERIAL SEDUCTION

There are times when I am amazed of how a woman will allow herself to be so engulfed in a man to a point she does not consider the logic behind it. There is a drawing force that automatically draws a woman to a man. It gets a hold of her and takes her to another world. Some people say it was activated in the Garden of Eden when the woman became disobedient to the command of God. This hypnotic drawing force is often times misinterpreted as falling in love by some women. In reality, it is seduction - a means for a fall. How does something like this happen? It happens very easily. Women become very susceptible to seduction in moments of loneliness, unhappiness and at times during stages of low self-esteem. The problem with this is the loss of power experienced once the seduction is successful. This usually means not an increase of love but a lack of love from the seducer. Their reason for the seduction is usually for self-gain. Women are the last to know as they find fulfillment in the connection to the man that has chosen her above other women. Do you know men of God have this same seductive influence over women? Trust me, many of them know it too. They have a special way of making women feel they are so needed to carry out God's work. I've seen it several times where the woman in the church who motivates the pastor is usually not the wife. It is this same woman who is faithful and appears for every service and event. She makes sure she has an active role in the church to ensure the pastor has what he needs to be a success. I remember catching a sample of a minister's arrogance and certainty I was a likely candidate for this special role. The minister would give me direct eye contact and a look that reassured me my presence was much needed. Eventually, that look convinced me he needed me in his church on a regular basis. I was convinced I had a divine purpose and I must follow him wherever he goes. Nobody could tell me the Pastor didn't need me to be a great minister, so I kept coming back and waiting for that eye contact every Sunday. One day, I sat in a different place in the church and noticed my pastor giving a woman that same eye contact he gave me. This woman was just as confident and proud as I was about being needed by our pastor. At that point, I began to observe from a distance this minister's interactions with women. Every last one of them was mesmerized by his mere presence. He knew how to make each one feel very special without physically going past holy boundaries. A hug or a hand shake did the trick; but nothing could beat that eye contact. The confirmation that this wasn't just something in my mind came when I was becoming a regular and he started telling the other women to include me in special projects. They didn't take it too well and did just enough not to flunk the "Christian way of handling one another" test, while turning their noses up at me. I had to laugh inside as I observed how the minister knew just how to seduce women without sexual activity. For sure, to take possession of a soul, you must take possession of the mind. Trust me when I say the most powerful bond between a male and female is not sexual, but the joining of the minds. However, seduction has a unique and sadistically magical affect on the mind. It causes a woman to sacrifice herself for someone else without a just reward. Ministers have many women who are connected to them by hypnosis. They absorb every single word he says and allow it to fill the empty places in their lives. Who wouldn't want to be close to a preacher, a man of God? The enticement takes place in being determined to do the right thing --- keeping the man of God happy! Though some fail and become sexually involved, most don't because their fulfillment is in knowing she is special to the pastor. Women give large sums of money to have that adrenaline rush. Some go so far as to give up their husbands. Women love their pastors because it is a safe love requiring only one thing: him needing "us" to do God's work. Don't believe me? Look a woman straight in the eye and ask her, "How much do you love your pastor?"

IF I HAD A DAUGHTER

If I had a daughter I would tell her to understand she is a gift from God. I would instill that in her from the day she is born. There would be no competition between us as far as winning daddy’s affections or proving I am the better female. I would tell her there was a time it was considered a curse to have a daughter verses having a son. But that time is over because now the female child can be adored, respected and looked upon as intelligent.

I would tell her to always know she is a unique creation of God and God is something or someone deep in her heart. I would teach her to value this invisible presence at all times and to shield it from the temptations of the world. First and foremost she must always understand that boys are totally different than girls in more ways than just physical. I would let her know each year of her life requires a different understanding of the male species.

First of all, the boy is a hunter and he thrives to satisfy his senses. It is human nature for him to desire to devour her body but it does not mean you should surrender it to him, especially when God is your first love. I would teach her to understand it is normal to feel sensations in her distinguished female areas of her body that the male yearns to touch and explore. But understand this is human nature. This urgency is the continuation of the human species. Know precious daughter it is not your responsibility to give your body away for this natural process. The alluring of the eyes of the beholder and his strong desire to have you is no different than what happens with the animals in the jungle. It is called mating to bring forth life.

True, it appears romantic and magical when you read about it or watch it on TV. This is just a smoke screen to sedate you as your soul, spirit and relationship with God is compromised for a moment of lustful fulfillment. Once the sperm is released, things are never the same because God was not in it and He was put on hold while your self-value is dropped. Before you take off those panties, remember you are not alone. God is there and hoping He is chosen over satisfying the lusts of the flesh of another.

Once you have allowed yourself to become naked before the eyes of a male, you risk the chance of being an instrument for sexual pleasure and never seen as a flower again. The boys share their experiences with one another as though their experience was a just reward for all their efforts for cunning you into his bed. Virginity is special for it represents oneness with God. God has something for you when you wait for your mate and trust Him to choose him for you.

There are other things going on in life for God’s children besides sweating between sheets. There is much to be done in bringing light into a world where God was not considered instead of sex. The outcome is greed, lust, drugs, sexual abuse and hate. All just because one girl, someone’s daughter did not value herself as a child of God. Honor yourself. See the opposite sex as a means to exercise spiritual truth not sexual arousal for the outcome is illegitimate children and a cry for the father to be in their lives. Go in to the world knowing God is with you always. If only someone had told them.

Love is real. It is not based on being wanted and needed. It is based on a silent knowingness that together we can make a difference in this world. My daughter, your most important homework assignment is finding out whom or what God is and living it each day of your life.

MOLESTED ANGEL WINGS

As a survivor of molestation, I can honestly say there is a beautiful life after being molested. I remember watching "Woman Thou Art Loose" by TD Jakes. In the movie, the main character, a young female was raped by her mother's boyfriend who took her virginity. Neither her mother nor anybody in her life knew her inner suffering with this experience. That hidden anguish grew to self-destruction.
The movie bothered me from the standpoint that when a man of God counsels this young lady knowing her deep seated anger and offered her no answers and in the end no hope. This was a great devastation for me because the victim ends up shooting the victimizer at the altar in the House of God. People found this to be an excellent movie. I found it to be a preying on emotions and a means of an income dealing with a subject so complex and soul altering that to tamper with it with no resolve was unjust to molested victims needing help. Several years later, I still remember this disappointment.
With this in mind, I want victims, not only molested victims to know and understand there is hope and there are answers. We just have to discover our own path to God. I wrote a book, "LAST DAY OF VICTIMIZATION". This book reveals the soul of victimization and prepares victims and those who love and want to assist in the healing process answers and a real understanding why we are victims. Trust me if you really want to be delivered from your past, it can happen and it will if you consider the possibility it is because you are a child of God therefore you are a target for potential abuse.
Though many people would hate to admit, healing from molestation and many other forms of abuse takes time, lots of time. It is a shifting of gears from low to high with neutral sometimes making us think we are not progressing. I want molested angels all around the world to know you can and will accept your wings of freedom. When it happens you will know it. I remember accepting my wings. It happened in a way that never entered my mind. I owe it to my soul mate. I will ever be indebted to him.
Standing up for one's feelings, needs and desires was difficult for me as a molested victim because that natural choosing was denied me for so many years of my life. I faced the world not acknowledging my true feelings that made me who I am. Instead, the needs, feelings and desires of the ones I loved had precedence over mines; but finally after much trust in God and allowing myself to rise out of my private abyss, I spoke from my soul and risk the chance of disappointing or even losing my soul mate. See in the past, I was hollered at or spanked if I expressed my true feelings. But my day of realizing God has brought me from a long way, I spoke and received my Wings of Healing. Today, I can say: God will restore the years of the locusts. My past can no longer paralyze my presence. To be free is knowing you are AMAZING!

Prayer unites the soul to God, for although the soul may always be like God in nature and substance, it is often unlike Him in condition.

Julian of Norwich, 1342-1413

Gripping the Soul

A HORRIFIC MOVEMENT HAS TAKEN PLACE MAKING US AWARE WE ARE AN INDIVIDUAL AND WE HAVE A SOUL. It is a taking that mars our total being. It carries the vibrations of a wounded animal dying with no value. Immediately when something is taken from us a death-like agony fills our emotions and feelings. It makes us aware of a reality beyond the body and worldly environment. We come to realize what we are made of. That part of us silenced by external influences now becomes louder than our physical environment. We feel like we’re bleeding yet in many cases there is no blood. Something is oozing coming forth like puss from an infected wound. We try to stuff everything back inside ourselves but whatever it is, we can’t see or touch it to control and direct it. It is like someone has literary pulled our hearts out of our chests and held it in their hands. We see them with it but we can never get it back; yet we are alive and we have to go on although this huge part of us is gone.

It takes hold of our total mind and heart and festers into sweet sorrow because we have been robbed of our natural life flow to experience the moment uninhibited by evil forces. Bitterness follows in most cases because that is what unjust pain becomes. The instant preparation of a private abyss formulates to pull us deeper into the darkness of our agony.

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. Job 10:1
