I've been doing my usual FB and Instagram skim and usually every Wednesday I would see someone post a pic similar to the one above.
For those who aren't hip on this once a week trend glorifying women, WCW stands for Woman Crush Wednesday. It's a really popular trend that started on Instagram rapidly expanded to Facebook and Twitter. Every Wednesday, a guy (or girl) will post a picture of a female, celebrity or not, and usually caption it with a personal message as well as the person's instagram name and hashtag (#wcw). Yes, it seems like a sweet gesture BUT it seems there are some people that become a little down and out that they aren't anyone's so called WCW.
So with that I ask you...who's your value in? What defines you? Better yet, who defines you?
Are you defined by someone recognizing your beauty? Are you defined by being noticed? Are you defined by the number of followers on your page? Are you defined by the number of likes underneath your picture? Because if you are, I definitely see why you're upset. Your value and worth are put in the wrong thing!
Your worth should not be found in material things or better yet man. You've already set yourself up for disappointment.
Psalm 118:8 (KJV) says, "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."
The foundation of your value and worth is Jesus. If He's not your foundation, then I completely understand why this is breaking your confidence. Do you understand who you were created by? You were "uniquely" created by the most high God. He put so much thought into creating you. There's no other person out there like you. That should be enough to lift your spirits right there.
Psalm 139:14 (KJV) says, " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
If we truly understood the love of God, none of these trends would matter. God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins so that we would be saved (John 3:16). He grants us grace and mercy when we don't deserve it. We mess up and He still loves us. He provides for us when we are in need. He protects us from danger. He heals us when we are sick. I mean I could go on and on. There is not a time I can recall that God has ever failed me. His track record is on point. God is true to His promises and He will never leave you or forsake you.
We have to switch up our way of thinking. Set your eyes to the heavens.
Colossians 3:2 (KJV) says, "Set your affection on the things above, not on things on earth."
Romans 12:2 (KJV) says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
In other words, get out of your feelings! We are not here to be someone's "WCW" or even care if we are or not. We are here to be about our father's business and that's spreading the gospel, saving lives, and praising The Lord. When this world is passed away, child there will not be an Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
With that being said, we have to understand where our value and worth is anchored in. Your value and worth should be in Jesus Christ. He has made you His WCE "Woman Crush Eternally." He loves you more than you can ever imagine. So stop walking around with your head hanging down because some guy didn't make you his "Woman Crush Wednesday." You have purpose. Know who you are and whose you are. You are a Princess of a King.
Acknowledge. Fix. Keep it moving...
