Loving God's Woman
THIS MONTH'S THEME: R.E.A.L. WOMEN
Whether it be from a place of judgement, ridicule, or admiration, the world is fascinated by women who love Jesus.
It should be.
When a Woman Loves Jesus
When a woman truly loves Jesus,
when she makes the Savior a priority in
her home,
her movements,
her heart,
it is not hard to see how Christ reciprocates.
He shows up in
her home,
her movements,
her heart.
Her energy is anointed.
Her tears are not just purging, but cleansing.
Her commitment to family and community is not only service but also sacred.
Her body.
Her mind.
Her heart.
Heaven considers these to be sacred things.
Pure.
Not perfect. Pure.
When was the last time you thought of a woman as pure?
It is the second thing Heaven thinks of when it thinks of a godly woman because Jesus himself trusted a woman's body, mind, and heart with this sacred thing called "life".
The first thing is she is mine.
The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” ~Luke 1:27-28, New International Version
Before the angel ever spoke a word about her assignment, he made sure Mary knew the Lord was with her. And yet, even a godly woman can find it hard to see how fearfully and wonderfully made she is. We all hesitate at times when confronted with the magnitude of God's love because we live in a world that tells us we do not deserve it.
That is a lie.
Want to know how to love God's woman?
Remind her that she is God's woman.
Not your woman.
Not the worlds to do with as it sees fit.
God's woman.
Remind her that she is God's woman, then love her like He does.
Don't analyze her tears.
See her tears as cleansing, and never forget the tears she has cried for you.
Don't minimize her commitment to family and community. It can be in the garden, washing dishes, or negotiating million-dollar contracts, God honors the work of her hands. Do you?
Remember...
It does not matter who she is to you (wife, lover, homegirl, sister, auntie, mother, etc...), in the eyes of the Father she is your sister in Christ.
So, be careful.
Be careful. Be mindful. Be thoughtful.
Oh, how we could change the word with a single thought!
"This is my sister in Christ."
A small reminder to every woman we encounter...
"You are my sister in Christ."
Six words can set the standard on how we see women and ultimately how we love them.
When your words and actions communicate to a woman that you see Christ in her, you ignite the GOD in her.
Handle with care.
Handle with Care
Her body, her mind, and her heart are sacred things.
Handle with care.
God sees her first as pure. Not perfect. Pure. Cleansed by the blood of the Sacred Lamb.
Handle with care.
From before the womb, to the cross, to the grave, Jesus took care of and included the women in every aspect of his human life and beyond.
Handle with care.
Love the women in your life like this and it will change your life.
