I came across this and really liked it. Women, never forget that you were made in the image of God, and what true beauty really is. Men, never forget that your woman is an extension of God and of you. Treat her as such.
The Creation of 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.
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 of ME.
From one bone I fashioned you. I chose
the bone that protects man’s life. I chose the
strong yet delicate rib which protects his
heart and lungs and supports him,
as you are meant to do.
Your characteristics are as the rib, strength
yet delicate and fragile. You provide
protection for the most delicate organs
in man, his heart and lungs. His
heart is the center of his whole 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
and lungs. Support him as the rib cage
supports the body.
Around this one bone I fashioned you.
I shaped you. I created you perfect.
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.
Oh yes, I’ve touched your hands, I’ve held
your heart. Of all that lives and breathes
you are the most like me.
That is why I made you the mother of life.
You see, you woman, reside in me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day
and 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,
and support, my protection. You are
special because you
are the extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions.
Together you represent the totality of God.
So man treat woman 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 and lungs.
Woman support man as the rib cage.
In humility show him the power of
emotion I have given to you.
In gentle quietness show your strength.
In love show him that you are the rib
that protects his inner self.
This is just wonderful– thanks for sharing it.
