Some of us can see right through people.
I remember when I was in bible school and I worked with this chicks boyfriend. I think he liked me even while they were dating. And no I was no home wrecker, we just were in a position that we had to work together. He mentioned to me one day that he was breaking up with his girlfriend and he hopes the next person he is with he marries. I just felt like he was talking about me when he said it but it was hard to believe that a great man of God would say that when he was clearly dating someone.
He broke up with her and I ignored him at work. I wasn’t into him at all although I kind of wish I would have been he was such a nice person and a quality man.
His girlfriend was so mad at me and made it very clear to me and others that she thought I was the reason for her breakup.
I said something to her one day to help them get back together and kinda help this mess I was in even without my participation.
Next thing I knew they were together, and she was jumping up and down in the hallway with her friend saying ( not that she was marrying a man she loved ) but that she was marrying a missionary!!
She thought she had won a prize because she was going to be something I guess because he was in the ministry.
it seemed so fake to me.
Im sure she loved him but it just seemed like the spectacle I saw she seemed to be more excited that she had snagged a person in ministry more than anything.
Even though Im not really in ministry I do have one of the heaviest and biggest anointings that I have seen. Every once in a while I will meet a man who is enamored with what I have on me as if they have a prize. Its almost like they are looking at something off in the distance rather than looking at me and because the inside of me knows this, I recoil from their advances.
I am not saying that wanting someone anointed is wrong but I am saying there can be an uncanny lust for it and some people will view someone with an anointing as “more valuable”.
As a woman with a strong anointing we dont want a man who lays down and worships at our feet. We want someone who realizes that we are weak and we actually really need help. We want someone to share our humanity with without being judged for not being “up to standard”.
When we feel the need to help others, oftentimes we are suffering in some way ourselves and people are often looking at us as if we are the strong ones who need no help.
An anointing is a responsibility and many of us cant separate that anointing from who we are. Its just there as a packaged deal although we can learn how to “manage it” to include others.
I have no idea why I wrote this post but I just think this is a funny story.
