"I'm too complicated and should be simpler to understand"
How it sounds in your head: People keep saying they can't figure me out. I contradict myself. I'm artsy but also logical, extroverted but need alone time, strong but emotional. My dating profile is a mess because I can't fit into one box. Maybe simple girls get chosen and complicated ones get left.
"To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ."
-- Ephesians 3:8Western reductionism that demands simple categories for complex image-bearers of an infinite God
She's been told she's 'confusing' or 'contradictory' when she's actually just multi-faceted, and she's watched simpler-seeming people get relationships and opportunities while she feels like too much puzzle to solve.
She's a businesswoman, seamstress, real estate investor, philanthropist, wife, mother, merchant, strong, dignified, wise teacher, early riser, and clothed in strength and honor. Twenty-two verses can't contain her complexity, and she's called 'worth far above rubies' specifically BECAUSE she's multi-faceted.
I REFUSE the lie that my complexity is a problem. IT IS WRITTEN that Christ has UNSEARCHABLE riches - not simple, not easily grasped, but glorious to discover. The Proverbs 31 woman is celebrated for being business owner, artist, philanthropist, teacher, wife, and mother all at once. IT IS WRITTEN that it is the GLORY of God to conceal a matter and glory of kings to search it out. I am fearfully and WONDERFULLY made - wonderfully means full of wonder, not easily explained. The BARAK blessing means I am the head and not the tail in every facet of who I am. My complexity reflects an infinite God.
The Father is not trying to simplify you - He's revealing new layers of who He made you to be because you're an eternal being with infinite capacity. He's the God who reveals Himself in progressive layers across millennia, and your complexity is His fingerprint.
