LETTER FROM GOD ABOUT WOMEN

Note: I first read it in the "English World" Forum posted by 晓云来生。 I really love it and re-post in my blog. Thanks for sharing.


When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.

When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.

But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate.

I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.

From one bone, I fashioned you.
I chose the bone that protects man's life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone, I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.

Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to above him.
You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes - don't change them.
Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose, so perfect in form.
Your hands so gentle to touch.

I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.
He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.
You are special because you are an extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man, treat women well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.
In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me.
In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man.
In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you.
In gentle quietness, show your strength.
In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
Did you not know that as "WOMAN" you are special in God's eyes?

Believe what you want to believe Melly. One thing I learned from recent management training is: your vision decides your perception; and your perception decides your action.

haha..Interesting point!!!

Well, I do not know if God wanted Adam to have many women in terms of one rib vs. a rib cage. However, before God created Eva, Adam was lonely, though he had his rib cage. I tend to believe the one which God used to creat Eva is the most important for God fashioned himself in. If Adam lost this one, he would be lonely, feelingless,strengthless.On the other hand, God would not waste his power, he fashioned himself in and he demanded women more. Women have to support men. Men would only be images without women.

Am I dreaming again? hehe..

Helen,

I am with you. After reading it, I believe God loves women more.

A woman is one rib for a man's rib cage, but a man has many ribs for his rib cage. Does it mean that a man needs many women? but a woman can be only for one man (at a time)? Is this the nature of god creation? Interesting, isn't it?

[blhw72]

In Bible, it says that God created Adam and took one rib of his to creat Eve.

.....

I never know God actually fashioned women.

The letter from him just makes me more believe that God is always by our side.
