This hit me hard today.
What does honor mean to me?
It means to live with integrity and respect. It means to set someone or something in a place of high regard or respect. It is the opposite of shame in my eyes.
I honor the man I love by keeping myself to him. I'm trustworthy. I value my role in his life and want to honor him with my actions, heart, mind and spirit.
Honor cannot exist when anonymity exists. I can't honor him as my boyfriend if I never let anyone know we are together. It gives others the opinion that I'm single or available to other choices.
I need God's honor in my life so I am not ashamed to say that I'm His child. I have humbled myself before Him displaying my failures/sins. I have asked Him to forgive me, cleanse me and make me new. I genuinely desire to please Him by living a life that will bring Him honor - because I love Him.
Loving God - means proving to Him with my actions, my words, my life that I bring Him honor.
Loving Greg means I prove it with my actions, my words and my life.
What a privilege we have to be loved and to be able to love someone.
As I've started over...I know now more than I have ever known in my life - that I want to be loved, honored, and adored...by not only the very God who created me...but my children and the man I am committed to.
