A Proverbs 31 Woman meets a Humble Man...
After sharing my definition of a Proverbs 31 woman, I asked a friend what kind of man he strives to be and he said a “humble man”. He then crafted these words for me. I asked permission to create this post because his words are too powerful not to share.
A humble man is a man of strength and character. He will do any and everything for the woman he loves. He lives to please her, for the Bible beckons and commands him. The strength that lies deep within him will bring him into alignment to not only love her, but to help cultivate the ground they both share. For in that cultivation brings strength, respect, love and honor, but eventually glory which belongs to God.
Who is the woman to have?
I don’t strive to be a “strong black woman” - instead my aim is to be a “Proverbs 31 Woman”. What is a Proverbs 31 Woman? She is: Trustworthy, kind, works joyfully, disciplined, enterprising, prudent with money, energetic, good steward, diligent, compassionate, generous, provident, elegant, industrious, poised, wise, manages her home, praiseworthy, distinguished, God-fearing, and honored.

What is it going to take for him to forget I exist?
I thought I knew all about forgiveness. The Bible says we should forgive those who trespass against us, just as we want God to forgive us. So as a good Christian, I have forgiven people who didn’t earn it or deserve it. I maintained a friendly posture because that is what we're supposed to do...right?
Forgiving means letting go of the pain, hurt and anger. But does it also mean we need to forget? I mistakenly thought that forgiving also meant letting undeserving people continue to hold a seat at the dinner table of my life.
When someone who hurt me deeply called recently (to boldly ask for a favor), I asked a friend, “What is it going to take for him to forget I exist?”
This is a person I have forgiven, so why did his call stir up all those feelings of hurt, sadness, anger and betrayal?
God reopened that wound - to open my eyes. He allowed me to see that forgiveness means letting go of the pain ...and sometimes it also means letting go of the person who caused the pain. And sometimes we don’t need to forget. God showed me that it’s okay to permanently exile some people from your life. It’s okay to stop answering calls, to stop responding to emails, and to ignore text messages.
I asked the question, “What is it going to take for him to forget I exist?” I found my answer! He will forget I exist - the day I forget he exists. It is up to me to no longer allow him a space at the table. Wow - it’s just that simple!
I forgive you. I have let go of the hurt. I will also no longer allow you a seat at my table.
Do you have people sitting at your table who need to be removed from your guest list?
