TEMPLE'S CLOSET

As young men and women living in the 21st century, we all face struggles in the same areas of our lives at one point or another. On this site I will reveal some of the personal struggles that I have faced and the insights that I have gained through prayer, study and personal time with God.

What are you worth?

As women we have to value ourselves more. We really have to force people to value us as well. I just really believe that our relationships particuarly with men are a reflection of what we think of ourselves; what we think we deserve; and how much we believe that we are worth. To take it a step further, if we are unable to discern the above we have to absolutely believe that God loves us, He wants the best for us and we cannot settle for anything less than what God would want us to have. Someone once told me: "the only person who can love a woman the way a woman needs to be loved is God. Once we realize this then we will stop looking for this type of love in a man because if a man ever loved us this way He would be usurping the power of the God."
