God's letter to a Woman...
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 would not interfere with My creativity.
From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects mans life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him...as
you are meant to do.
Around this 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 a man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The ribcage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the ribcage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him.
You were not taken from his head, to be above him.
You were taken from his side, to stand beside him. |
