God's Message to Women - Author Unkown

As I was reading the book "Desired by the King" by Ruth Rieder, I came across this lovely poem today and thought I should share. It is important that more women start to stand up and know their biblical role. Enjoy!

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

From one bone I fashioned you, and I choose the bone that protects man's life. I choose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him as you are meant to do. Around this one bone, I shaped and molded 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 his 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 be above him. You were taken from his side to be held close as you stand beside him.

I have caressed your face in your deepest sleep. I have held your heart close to Mine. Adam walked with Me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see or touch Me but could only feel My presence. So I fashioned in you everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with Me; 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 woman well. Love and respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt Me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart. Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have placed within you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
