Over the last week I've been reading "Captivating" By John and Stasti Eldredge. Its an amazing book and I've been learning so much, about women, myself, and the mysteries behind wounds that all us women bare.
And that last thing, is what I want to talk about! From the beginning of time we've been hurt... (Hence when Adam was silent.) And now in the present... I'm going to show you a clip from a movie that you probably all know! Now the part I want you to pay attention to is the beginning of the video....ready?
After watching that can you relate? That voice that whispers pain, and failure... or maybe its simply "Your beauty is alright." Even though earlier I mentioned Adam, there was a voice... a snake that hissed something compelling. Even though women keep asking man why he didn't stand up in the beginning... the person that is really hurting us, is Satan himself. Words dance around our ears like wildfire from this snake and our question is why?
The beauty that was Satan's was given to us,
He was the most beautiful... the example of God's beauty, and when Satan was banished,
WE...women... was given his gift, us becoming the crown of creation!
Eve, means life. What does Satan come to do?
Kill, Steal, and Destroy!
His desire the exact opposite of what women are meant to do.... we give life thourgh baring children, nourishing, and helping others along by being vulnerable- a listening ear, etc.
Who we are is the exact opposite of what Satan wants in this world!
So just us living is a threat to Him! He is the living Haman, to our destined Esther life! He hisses, whispers, whatever to get us down... pain cuts deep when another word follows, after another. Oh! He knows it too! If he can slow us down, get us slammed than part of life is gone... We were meant to be a living Eden.
BUT oh, that next part! When the King comes.... there is hope... Jesus will come. And honestly, that is how it looks and all goes down.The scene speaks for its self. YOU ARE MORE THAN YOU SEEM... I encourage you to read the book, "Captivating".
I encourage you to study who you really are as a woman, in the Bible!
