Here is a question. Would you sell a diamond for the price of a rock?

No?

So why do you keep selling your gift for the price of your fear?

Proverbs 31:10 asks who can find a virtuous woman, because her price is far above rubies. Not close to rubies. Far above them. God set your price before you ever built a business plan. He did not leave it up to your last client who tried to talk you down, or your own head talking you out of charging what you are worth.

Most women do not have a pricing problem. They have an identity problem wearing a pricing costume. You discount your gift because somewhere along the way you decided your worth was up for negotiation.

Here is the hard truth. Every time you undercharge to avoid rejection, you are agreeing with the lie that says you are not worth the full price.

God never agreed with that lie.

Stop signing off on it with your invoices.

The Proverbs 31 woman did not apologize for her value. She worked with strength, she sold what she made, and she was known in the gates because of what she built. She did not shrink to keep the peace. You were not built to be marked down. You were built on purpose, by God, for a price He already called far above rubies.

It never was.
