THE ONE AND ONLY WOMAN IN RED
Let's turn our Bibles to Revelations 17:16:
"And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will [be the very ones to] hate the harlot (the idolatrous woman); they will make her cheerless (bereaved, desolate), and they will strip her and eat up her flesh and utterly consu
me her with fire".
There is a clear difference between let's say.. "prophesy" language versus reality.. or "film" language versus reality.. or "high tech" language versus reality.. or "dream" language versus reality.. and this thing we call "reality" is.. and can.. and will change by the second (another reason why seconds are precious, let's add this to the list).
Now.. the only thing we can really control in this ever changing, second based reality.. is our very personal role. Compare your very personal role to your DNA… your DNA is completely unique to you.. only you can be you.. biologically.. physically.. metaphysically (whatever this means).. mentality.. spiritually.. molecular-ly.. matter-ly.. energetically.. (I hope you get the picture) and this is so very special!
The question I would like for you to ponder on tonight is.. why would you want to be anyone else other than you?
Better yet!
A second question.. based on the above scripture.. knowing how unique you really are based on your very own second based reality and personal role..
Why would you want to be like her?
She made the sacrifice so nobody else had to.. yet you choose..time after time.. to be like her.. not better… not worse even.. but just like her!.. Why?!
Is it because you are just like her.. or is it because you don't know any better.. or is it because you actually want to be her? Which any "yes" answer to any of these rhetorical questions is a real problem.
What we really need to do.. is start seeing her a parent.. we all have a mother and a father.. we all love our mother and father dearly (for the most part or not).. but the real essence here is we don't exactly (or ever) want to be like our mother or father.. we want to be better.. not worse.. but better because only we know how they hurt us.. because one day we hope we can be a better mother and father to our children.. and teach our children how to be better than us.. and of course this is a luxury in this day in age.. because bad parents seem to create bad children and the cycle goes on and on (which is another real problem in itself, topic for another time).
Reality is.. as much as everyone wants to blame her for everything.. nobody can..is.. or will be her.. ever. Her personal role is unique to her own reality… and I would never ever think for one second that I.. or anyone else could be her.
In my eyes.. this woman.. is the Real.. one and only woman in red.. and I would not have it any other way.. because she knows what is to love.. and to lose.. and to sacrifice every essence of her being just for You.
