The Lord is Your Husband and Maker

"Don't seek out a man to determine your worth. This is a snare for so many women, as a godless society is constantly calling for women to be identified by how men sexually respond to them. Know this: Your value is not rooted in your sexual appeal, and your self-esteem cannot be earned by performance in bed. 

Remember the words of Scripture that the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, is your husband. No man of person can speak so definitively about who you are. They don’t know you like God does. He knit you together in your mother’s womb. He knew you before you knew you. If anyone has any authority to speak worth, value, and self-esteem over you, it’s God and God alone. Be encouraged by the positive things people say. Be challenged by the legitimate criticism they offer. But at day’s end, only be defined by God’s definition of you. 

No human being can speak words that impact you and define your life like the words that proceed from the mouth of God.”

For your Maker is your husband-the Lord Almighty is his name-the Holy One of Isreal is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
