Women were Created for This🙌🏾…
Your Womanhood Points to a Deeper, Spiritual Reality.
OH, MY WORD! NOBODY TOLD ME THIS!😳
As I studied the pages of one of my favorite Christian books, I was stunned to realize how much God’s glory is revealed in each gender.
The left-wing ideology is becoming increasingly determined to shatter all gender distinctions between the sexes.
Some believe that gender is a social construct, not God-ordained. They barrage our minds with so-called truths like, “You define your own gender,” “No one can tell you who you are,” and “Gender roles are outdated, you call your own shots.”
But I’m here to remind you, ladies, that your womanhood points to a deeper, spiritual reality. Our femininity is more than just a biological fact. It’s a DIVINE DESIGN!🌸
As I flip through the pages of True Woman 101 by Mary A. Kassian and Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, I’m compelled to share how God intentionally created women to reveal truths about His character and redemption plan.
We were formed for a purpose✨
What is God’s glory? It’s His breathtaking display of power, awe, and grace.
God’s glory is evidently and miraculously revealed in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as scripture details
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” – Hebrews 1:3
Christ is the visible manifestation of our Father’s glory.
As believers, we not only see an incredible facet of God’s glory revealed in redemptive grace but also receive the responsibility to glorify Him through who He created us to be.
“Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image…’ So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” – Genesis 1:26-27
We were formed in God’s image. Formed for a PURPOSE. Formed for His GLORY.
THIS MIRACULOUS AND INTENTIONAL CREATION PROCESS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY OR RECONSTRUCTED TO ADHERE TO RECENT GENDER-NEUTRAL, NON-BINARY, ANTI-CHRIST POLICIES AND TRENDS.
Rather, it should be honored and celebrated.
Being a woman, a created female, has nothing to do with me and everything to do with glorifying God in the distinct ways He called me to. Here are the three most profound ways God calls women to glorify Him.
1. As a Bride or Wife👰♀️
There is something truly breathtaking about God’s original design of marriage, where ‘two become one flesh.’ Later, Jesus reaffirms to us that what God has joined together, let not man separate (Matt 1:4-6).
Why would Jesus say, “LET NO MAN SEPARATE”? It’s because earthly relationships point to something BIGGER.✨
The inseparable and harmonized union between a man and His bride is a mere reflection of the faithfulness that Christ has for His church.
“Men were created to reflect the strength, love, and self-sacrifice of Christ. Women were created to reflect the responsiveness, grace, and beauty of the bride (the church) He redeemed. And marriage was created to reflect the covenant union of Christ and His bride,” as stated in True Woman 101 by Mary a. Kassian & Nancy Demoss Wolgemuth
Here’s an interesting fact: about 40-50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce, according to the American Psychological Association.
Within the Jamaican culture I grew up in, getting married is not the norm. Most couples I know prefer to cohabitate rather than to tie the knot. Also, I’ve heard of so many relationships riddled with infidelity and abuse. And as a young woman who hopes to get married one day, witnessing these failed marriages and hearing about the horrific things that happen really breaks my heart. I often think to myself, why do so many relationships end in disaster?
Is it that we are entering into these relationships with the wrong motives and expectations? Do we have an idea of what a lasting and fulfilling marriage should look like?🤔
I have my share of past relationships, and what I know now, I wish I had known then. I might not fully understand, at this season of my life, all the practicalities and work needed to make a marriage work. But after studying God’s Word and after reading sound Christian books on femininity, womanhood, and marriage, I need all single women who hope to get married must know these two timeless truths:
A LASTING KINGDOM MARRIAGE IS ABOUT SELFLESSLY SERVING ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST SELFLESSLY SERVED US.
Ultimately, as Kristen and Bethany explained in their book, Love Defined:
"MARRIAGE IS NOT A MAN-MADE INSTITUTION PRIMARILY FOR MAN’S BENEFIT, BUT RATHER A GOD-MADE INSTITUTION PRIMARILY FOR GOD’S GLORY."
I firmly believe that if a marriage does not glorify God, something is off.
As women, we are called to be brides.
If you’re married, you have a chance to glorify God in your marriage every single day by submitting to your husband and living in such a way that mirrors the Church's faithfulness and holiness toward Christ.
And for single women, we have the privilege of growing spiritually and preparing ourselves for a future marriage that honors God.
Regardless of our marital status, we should all be embracing Christ as our eternal Bridegroom.
That brings me to my next point.
2. As a Mother🤰🏾
Another beautiful way God calls women to glorify Him is through motherhood.
I hear the echoes every day. It sounds similar to this: “Go!, leave home, take on the world, there’s no value in bearing and raising children. It’s exhausting, It’ll limit you, no one will truly respect you.”
Tell me, modern women, when did the culture become so anti-children and are so willing to kill the unborn?
One of the biggest downfalls of the second to fourth waves feminist movement is that it encourages women to look down on this priceless aspect of womanhood. However, God views motherhood as a high and noble calling. Our physical capacity to bring forth lives and our emotional disposition to nurture those lives is truly a gift from God.
HE HAS PURPOSEFULLY CHOSEN THE FEMALE TO MIRROR HIS LIFE-GIVING ATTRIBUTE, AS HE IS THE ULTIMATE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.
Though not all women are destined to become biological mothers, I strongly believe that all women are called to nurture and bear spiritual fruits.
As Mary and Nancy insightfully communicated in their book,
“It is not a given that every woman will marry, or that every married woman will be able to bear children, or that every woman ought to bear as many biological children as she possibly can. What is a given is that all women are called to be spiritually fruitful.The Lord wants all women, including single and childless women and women past childbearing age, to have a “household” and be the joyful mother of children.”
If you’re a mama, take joy in glorifying your Heavenly Father by raising your children in the fear and love of God, and take pride in ensuring a warm and loving environment.🏡
And if you’re single or childless, you have an awesome opportunity to guide and mentor young girls around you and invest in their spiritual well-being.
Children are a heritage from the Lord. May we be women who love, protect, and help raise them well.
3. As a Helper 📈
Finally, I want to touch on this often frowned upon scripture.
Another immense way God calls women to glorify Him is as a “helper”.
Then the Lord said, “it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:18
Some of you may cringe when you hear the word “helper”.
But if we clearly understand what being a “helper” means, we’ll appreciate and embrace the beauty and purpose of supporting and serving.
The enemy wants us to believe that supporting our husbands and other qualified men in our lives means we are inferior to them. But in no way does the Bible communicate or support that lie.
In fact, God, the Sovereign, is referred to as our indispensable help in scripture, and in NO way is He inferior to us.
Besides, how can a woman expect constant help and support from her Heavenly Father and be reluctant to support and serve others in a way that reflects God's love and grace?
Men and women may serve God’s kingdom differently, but our purpose is the same: to glorify Him. If God saw before the beginning of time that it was not good for man to be alone, and thus made a helper fit for him, then what He did was very good, and I’m pleased knowing that truth.
Please understand that man’s ultimate purpose is to glorify and serve God, and NOT Himself, and the woman assists man in fulfilling that purpose (eg, the creation mandate) that could not be achieved without her.
As the authors shared in their book, which I’m also in agreement with:
“The purpose of woman helping man isn’t about exalting the man. It’s really not about him (or her) at all. Her help contributes to both of them achieving a greater, nobler eternal purpose that is far bigger and more significant than their own existence. She labors and serves alongside him for the same purpose for which he labors and serves. And what is that? The glory of God. Woman helps man achieve the purpose of exalting and displaying the jaw-dropping magnificence of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” from True Woman 101: Divine Design.
If you are married, choose to support your husband in living out that bride-Christ relationship, being fruitful together, engaging in meaningful tasks that glorify God, and faithfully serving your marriage and family.
As for single women, we can support the men in our lives, such as our fathers and brothers, by affirming and encouraging godly masculinity and leadership.
In a world that progressively belittles and devalues manhood, let us be women who support men and see them as co-workers to accomplish great works for the Kingdom of God.
Live for His Glory🙌🏾
Womanhood is beautiful and spiritual, bigger than you and me. Your feminine parts, softer disposition, and longingness to surrender, receive, create, and nurture are intentional propensities from God.
God made man and woman with a purpose, and that is to glorify Him. So, let us be women who study, pursue, embrace, and delight in this spectacular design called FEMALE.
Regardless of what season of life you’re in (whether single or married, with or without children), you’re called to be a bride of Christ, to be spiritually fruitful, and to support men and one another. Do you enjoy being a female for God?
“We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of woman, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God’s idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am, and all that He wants me to be.” Elisabeth Elliot
