We must always keep in mind how special the women that are in our lives
really are. We are to honor, love and respect our mothers, sisters and
wives and show our appreciation for all that they do for us. We should not
honor the women in our lives only because it is the right thing to do, but
also because it is the command of the Lord. God Almighty has commanded us
to honor our mothers and fathers. We must also love and respect our wives
as we are commanded to in Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it." (Exodus 20:12)
God has blessed us with great women in our lives and we need to acknowledge
them and be thankful that God has given them to us. It is easy to go
through life on autopilot and not pay special attention to the works and
acts of love that women show each day that we are alive because they are
so graceful and light in their works, but nevertheless we must acknowledge
them and be grateful for all that they do. (Proverbs 18:22) (Proverbs 31:28)
I hope you are encouraged by today's message to pay tribute to the women
that are in your life and show them by your acts of praise and love how
special and important they are to you.
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 my creativity.
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:
strong, 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 are the windows to your soul; your lips are so lovely when they
part in prayer; your nose is so perfect in form; your hands are 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, woman, you 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 and 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.

Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Colossians 3:18-22 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it
is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against
them. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing
unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be
discouraged. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the
flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart,
fearing God."
Proverbs 31:10-12 "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far
above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that
he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the
days of her life."
Romans 12:9-12 "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in
business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient
in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer."
Proverbs 31:26-31 "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is
the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and
eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her
blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done
virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty
is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her
of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
