I am a "Kept" Woman

I Am a "Kept" Woman


You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind, but


GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)


There were times when I thought I could go no longer, but the LORD kept me
moving.
(Gen 28:15)


At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,
but the HOLY GHOST kept my mouth shut. (Psa. 13)


Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough, but GOD has helped me to
keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc..,
(Matt. 6:25-34)


When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.
When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong!
(I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)


! I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!
Praise the Lord and pass the filet mignon!! I'm blessed to be "KEPT."


Are you...or do you know a "kept" woman?

LOL. I was just thinking about this type of thing for the last few days. I'm "kept" too. No matter what others say and suspect about us...well, my Father in heaven is keeping us.

 

[Netta1]

Oh yes... when GOD made a way out of no way I knew I was kept...

When he comforted me in the midnight hour and listened to me cry..he TOLD me I was KEPT...

When I almost lost it all GOD kept me...

When I felt like a couldn't take another step GOD Kept me!

Best believe that GOD kept me, not only did he keep me.. But he sustained me…

He is the one who keeps and sustains me!

Who is this awesome GOD that we serve??? That He is able to father the fatherless yet allow the motherless a place in his bosom???

His name is awesome! His name is wonderful! The great I AM!
GOD IS GOOD!

I'm a Kept Woman!

There's a piece making its way on the internet entitled "I am a kept woman." It expresses what many of us Christian women believe and experience.

Being a "kept woman" has negative connotations in our society. In most cases, it means a woman who is supported financially by someone who is in another relationship, married, usually. Of course, it is implied that the kept woman bestows favors, usually sexual in nature on her benefactor. So, aspiring to being a "kept woman" by this definition is not a good thing.

However, let's take another look at what it can mean to be a kept woman-or quite honestly, a kept man as well! The first line from this essay says:

I am a kept woman because, you see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind, but God kept me sane.

Can you think of some moments in your life when your mental and emotional condition was so frail, so battered, so exhausted that you wondered if you were losing it? It does appear that bad news comes in bunches and we feel bombarded at times. I think of a woman I know who has recently received bad news about her health, on top of bad news about one of her children, and then she lost her job! At times like these you truly can feel as though you're losing your sanity.

It's undoubtedly what Job experienced when his world suddenly collapsed on him. And though he never cursed God, as you read his story you see that there were times when his mental and emotional strength was stretched beyond measure. At one point he said, "I cry out to you, O God, but you do not answer; I stand up, but you merely look at me" (Job 30:20).

If that's where you are today-feeling as though you could lose your mind because life is so hard-I want to encourage you to remember that you are a "kept woman"-or man-and that God has not and will not let go of you. To keep your sanity, keep your mind on Jesus. Isaiah 26:3 says, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." Paul wrote that "the mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6). When Satan is trying to literally drive you crazy, stand firm on the promise of God that he will keep you sane by his Spirit.

Amen!! I am a kept woman! Lord know God kept me sane when I was battling cancer. He never left my side and I never felt hopeless because I knew God was going to bring me through. Praise his holy name, I mediated on being healed by the stripes of Jesus and God gave me and my family peace. I cried maybe like 5 time since everything, God truly heals. Jehovah Rapha!! <3

 

[LucieLoo12]

I am a Kept Woman!! Its amazing how as God keeps you, He is changing, preserving, comforting, and molding you all in the process!!!! He wont ever leave us comfortless!!! Even the times i felt like I didnt want to be kept! He kept me. When I didnt have the strength hold my head up! He held it up for me!GLLORRRRYYYY

...had to do a lil Praise!!!

A wonderful truth is that if we are in Christ, we are indeed kept women-and men as well. I saw a piece on the internet, author unknown, that made the point that we are kept women. The second line of this piece says:

There were times when I thought I could go no longer, but the Lord kept me moving.

Psalm 18:32 says, "It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure." How many times have you thought you could not put one foot in front of the other, and yet the Lord kept you going?

My precious mother is with Jesus now, but a few years before her passing, my dad had a stroke and for a few years she insisted that she could care for him at home. It got to be too much for her, but she was just determined to keep him with her as long as possible. I remember her telling me, many times, about a particular night when Daddy woke her again, disturbing her sleep again, and she had to get up to care for him. She said, "Mary, I honestly didn't think I could do it. I just thought, 'Lord, I cannot get out of this bed; I have no strength.' But God helped me and I was able to get up and take care of Pop."

God kept her going when she had no strength of her own. She was a simple woman, who loved the Word of God and hid it in her heart all her life, and when her strength was gone, God's strength came through.

I think of a wonderful old hymn:

He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father's full giving is only begun.
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

If you're out of strength and you think you just can't keep moving, please re-read this wonderful old hymn, and sing it or read it all through your day. The Lord will give you the strength you need, because you are a kept woman!
