"She is the crescendo, the final, astonishing work of God. Woman. in one last flourish creation comes to a finish not with Adam, but with Eve. She is the Master's finishing touch." (Captivating. John and Stasi Eldredge)
Woman.
Little did she know how powerful she could
be. Little did she know how amazing she is.
From the dust of the earth, God called
her. From nothing, God formed her. Through His breath, life began in her. Her
heart. Her special, beautiful heart, began to beat. Life. Beauty. Power. All
began to transcend.
She possessed beauty that surpassed all creations.
She possessed power her Creator uniquely
gave her.
She possessed the message God alone can
convey through her.
Unfortunately, never did she imagined she
has any of these.
Till one bite. Alters, affects everything.
Lies. Lies. Millions of it. She began to
believe all of it.
Then tears. Endless tears began to fall.
She began to believe the exact opposite of who she is. And her heart. Oh, her
innocent heart. Only God could imagine how many times had it broke.
Until now. She cries. And her heart just
keeps on breaking.
Woman. For a second, listen to me.
Life may tell you the opposite. Life may
let you be under conditions you never imagined you'd be there. Life may break
your heart and break it again. Life may judge you by your weight, bank account,
job, relationships, and race. Life may make you feel inferior. Life may accuse
you and throw you things you know you've never done. Life may make you feel
undeserving. Life may tell you, you are not enough. Life may deprive you of
love, privileges, and respect. Life may step on that heart of yours. Life may
make you feel weak and worst. Life may reject you in so many ways. Life
may force you what beauty is. Life may make you feel worthless. Life may take
away your dignity.
For once, do not believe the lies.
You are strong. You are beautiful. You are
worthy. You are not a failure. You deserve respect. You deserve honor. You are
enough. You are saved. You are not judged. You are loved by almighty God.
God hears your every cry. God hears your
heart’s little petitions. He knows you are hurt. He doesn’t want you covering
your weakness by the things of this world. He knows the love that you desire.
But my beloved, little do you know any of these. Most of the time
you are unaware of His presence. You still try to cover up the wounds with
bandage that you thought could stop the pain. Little do you know the wound is
still there.
You are not alone. He is near you through every situation that you
had been through.
And it is never too late to acknowledge His presence.
You had already heard millions of voices. But none of these cured
your wounds.
Allow Him, my beloved.
Allow Him to heal your wounds. Allow Him to speak to you of great
Words and promises you long to hear. Allow Him to restore everything that you
had lost.
Allow Him to love you.
He is not distant. He is not aloof. He will never reject you. You don’t
have to prove anything just to gain His love.
He died for you. What else could He not do?
You are His daughter.
You are a princess.
Be strong my beloved.
Your life is held by the God who holds the universe.
Nothing is ever impossible to Him.
He loves you with a love that only Him could give.
Do not be afraid with that love.
He longs to care for you.
Wipe that tear away. Stand up. Walk like the way you first walked
the garden of Edens. Do not be afraid for He is with you.
Forever, He will be with you. You have battles you still have to
win.
Be of great courage.
Woman.
19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. (Colossians 1:19-21)
