A letter to a Queen.

Queen,

I know you know the importance of self love. If not, I would hope you would understand your value and worth. You my darling, are nothing but a diamond among the rough. A precious jewel that must be cherished & well taken care of. If you understood the process of a diamond, you would completely understand what I am trying to say.

Queen, you weren't created nor designed to be like anyone else. You were born to stand out to shine as bright as you choose. You are no longer breakable, but strong because you have been under pressure. You understand that the situations you go through isn't to harm you, but to make you stronger.

Just like a diamond, you will have rough spots that will need some cutting, (Yes, it will be painful, but is necessary for growth), where you need to be polished and examined closely by God, but who doesn't?  God not only takes time polishing you to be more like Him, but also closely examines your heart, mind, & spirit because out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.

 Adamas, the greek word for diamond meaning unconquerable & indestructible which you are.  You are not cheap, nor is this gem found everywhere. It's rare, it's desirable but not everyone can survive under the pressure, but then again its not formed overnight. It takes time, so be patient in the process.

Queen, with this knowledge I want you to know that if a man wants to pursue you, he needs to know your value. He needs to know that you aren't just someone's late night_____,  (you can fill in the blank) but someone's daughter, a precious jewel that must be treasured.

But Queen, you must also know who you are in Christ before you decide that you want to invest in some relationship. Beware of wolves in sheep clothing. Know that your purpose that God has given you will not be belittled because they can't see your goals & where God is taking you. You must stand firm on your beliefs & not jepordize your purity for temporary pleasures.

Protect your heart, but also your mind. Any man that wants you, must work for your heart, but have to seek God first before they can even get close to yours. A diamond just isn't laying on top of soil, its buried 100 miles underground. It requires work, time, energy, all things that are required for any relationship to be successful.

So Queen, I will leave you with this...stop investing in relationships that leave you feeling drained and tired of always giving your 100 when they only want to give 50. It's not only wasting your time, but theirs. When you are constantly giving yourself to someone who doesn't take time to do the same, you will begin to resent them and that's not healthy. So make sure you choose wisely who you invest in.

I want you Queen to be successful, to know your worth, to see how you can change the world. That you have the knowledge & wisdom that can impact the next generation. That you're just at the beginning to something so amazing that God is going to do through you.

 Queen you must know that no man will ever take the place that God will fulfill. It just won't happen, nor will it end well. So whatever you do, continue seeking after Christ, wearing your crown proudly & boldly. Keep shining bright, not allowing any negativity & pettiness keep you from seeing your potential.
