Go way back in time and seek that answer! It's how society views women and we as women have accepted it! Yet, it does not make us feel good about ourselves, so we seek acceptance and value in all the wrong places ~ several sex partners, eating disorders, striving to obtain that high paying career even if we are not passionate about what it is we are doing ~ or; "I don't know anything else I can do"!
Bishop T.D. Jakes told a brief story during his sermon, "Divine Expectations", of how on an Africa safari, the Zoologist stated that to rule the jungle, the young lions fight the lion who is already king per say of the pride. Bishop Jakes responded and said, "Oh, so only the strong survive"! The Zoologist said, "No, it is nature's way of making sure the weak lions do not reproduce!
WOW ~was my response! That is so true. We as women accept weak and defeated things in our lives! Anything that is not God's best is not strong or lasting! Breed a life of Excellence so we choke out the weak things in every area of our lives!
Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.” Mark 4:13-20 NIV
