Ep. 16:  An important, beautiful quality of womanhood is learning to give and receive love freely and openly.  There are many things that can block our love "receptors," primarily things that have happened in the past.  However, remember that God has instructed you to "forget the things of the past" and focus on what is in front of us, and the greatest positive force you have on your side everyday is God Himself...and God IS love.
.
Prioritizing God means to prioritize love.  We can do this by giving and receiving love from others, which begins with giving and receiving love to God first, and then allowing Him to show you how to give and receive love to yourself.  If it were an equation, it would look like this:  Love for God + Love for Myself = My ability to give and receive love with others.  Where ever you are in the equation, it's easy to retrace your steps back to the beginning so that you can ultimately have the love in your life that you want.
.
Developing love for God:  This only comes from spending actual quality time in God's presence.  Learn to listen for and look for God throughout your day, and acknowledge Him where you see Him present.  As a woman, much of your ability to manage your emotions and prepare for your day will depend on your preparation in the presence of God.
.
Developing your love for yourself:  Prioritize your spiritual and emotional health by releasing yourself from the bondage of unforgiveness.  This begins the process to loving yourself.  Allowing only the one who has earned the right to your body to experience it is another form of self-love.  Yes, it goes beyond mantras and affirmations to actions that showcase that YOU believe you are special and unique.
.
Cultivate your womanhood by examining where you are giving love and where you are receiving love, and determine if those channels are flowing the way you really desire them too.  You are empowered to love...the greatest gift to you from God.
.
Foundational Scripture for Today:  "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31
