I have often wondered why women of all color, sizes, shapes and walks of life don't join in unity... to bring this world back to God, to end child abuse, to end war, to end crime, to end the immense unhappiness that surrounds us. After all, we are the emotional glue that is supposed to keep our families together, to calm the storm within the hearts of our children... to just understand. Men and women are so very different... and God made us that way by design. He made women to be the emotional strength and to bring to light the emotion within the Holy Spirit. After a life of observing human nature... I understand that women don't join together in unity... because we are actually at war with our own gender. We are not at war with men... as the women libbers have convinced us that we are. We have equal pay... but, we are still so very oppressed.
Women... girls... females... have no voice. We are invisible. Why is that?? Because... there is another woman telling us that we are wrong every time we open our mouth, or "one upping" us, or making us feel we aren't good enough or the conversation becomes "me, me, me"... just to make her own self feel better. We do not allow females to grow, flourish, or lead... because we become jealous. We are so very critical of one another. No matter what the subject is... too skinny, too fat, too many wrinkles, not enough, staying at home to raise your children, to work in the workplace and put your children in childcare, too much money, not enough money, blond hair, black hair and the list goes on and on. If we were really honest with our self... we do not love and accept our own selves... so, how can we love and accept another? How can we "love" outside our circle? "But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control: and here there is no conflict with the law". Galatians 5: 22-23. The greatest of all of these gifts is... love. To honestly love someone... you must first know God. God is love. We have to really know and accept God... to fully understand how He intends us to love.
"Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him". I Corinthians 13: 4-7 In today's world... we women are jealous, envious, we boast, we are haughty, selfish and rude. We demand our own way, we are irritable, we hold grudges and judge others, we talk about injustices... but, do nothing about them, we are not loyal to one another, we do not believe in each other and we certainly don't want one of our sisters to do better than us... and we most certainly do not defend our sisters... but, hang her out to dry every single time. These are some tough words and thoughts... but... they are true.
Think about the power (and by this... I do not mean overtake men) we women would have... if no matter the color of our skin, size, shape, or walk in life...if we would accept our own self... and each other, join hands and never let go, bow our heads in prayer and pray for the fruits of the spirit for each one of us!!! Imagine how the world would begin to look!!! Imagine... no war! Imagine... all children held safely!! Imagine... no hunger!! Imagine... a world... in peace... because God would be at the very center of the circle women joined together and made!! Unrealistic... I don't think so! A change is needed... all around the world! God is trying to get our attention... so, why not begin with those that are the emotional glue? One woman at a time! Why don't we quit competing with each other... and just celebrate each other! We all have our own strengths and gifts... and joined together in celebration... AMAZING!!
I may not be perfect... but, Jesus thinks I'm too die for! Internalize this thought... it's powerful. Learn to love... and join hands! We will make a better world.
