Woman, Why is Your Heart Attached to Your Flesh?

I ask this question to you today, woman, have you ever thought about this? Have you ever asked yourself why your heart is attached to your flesh?

We as women often times mess up with fornication, adultery or even marrying unequally yoked with the mere thought…”If I give him the best part of myself, that which is most precious, then I can change him or change his mind of how he sees me”. Our heart was really not thinking about the sin (the flesh) because it really was not connected with our mind. Our heart was connected with our flesh wanting to see how we can make him feel, or how we can change his way of thinking.

Let me ask you another question, if the word says to love thy neighbor as you do yourself…how can you love someone without first loving you? How do you value someone if you can’t value yourself? Your process is wrong! Your heart is attached to your flesh.

Think about it, we put more preparation on our hair, make-up, nails, clothes and shoes than we do for our souls. We prep because it makes us feel good. When we look in the mirror and see what WE CREATED and call it good then we get happy. But what about what God created in you. Can you look inside your own soul and see that what God created is good….that’s what should make you happy. I’m not saying walk around and look crazy though, please understand…I’m just saying that you should put more time in your preparation for your soul than you do for your flesh. Your heart is attached to your flesh.

The word says that we should love God with all of our heart, mind and soul, another translation says with all of our might. The reason why they connect the 3 in showing God love is because we are giving God our best, the best part of us. The word never says to love God with your flesh and the reason is because that is the weakest part of you. Your flesh can be beaten, burned, cut, scraped and battered it can also take on different forms but your heart, mind and soul do not. When your heart, mind and soul are working together, it is a force unlike any other when the Holy Spirit is working in you.

Your way of thinking is backwards. Flesh should never be a part of the equation. So if you are not married and committing fornication or you are married and committing adultery in the eyes of God, what are you becoming one with? Flesh….If that is the case then you are being made one with something unstable. And if your heart is connected to your flesh then YOU are unstable. So if you think about it, you are not offering this man the best part of you, you are giving him lame offerings.

To you it was the best offering you could give this man, to you, you gave him all of yourself. But what you are saying is I am giving you my heart set on an unstable foundation. So when the foundation crumbles, so does your heart. There is a saying that says, “A woman’s heart should be hidden so far in Christ that a Man should seek him first to find it”. So I ask this, what is your heart connected with? Keep your heart separate from your flesh.
