I’m getting a little farther into the book “Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul” and this last chapter that I’ve been reading is about Eve and women in general. Now, I don’t know about all of you out there but I know that I made a few judgements about our friend Eve. However, as I continued reading I realized just what God had in mind when He created Eve. Here is a passage from this particular chapter that is talking about creation: “Truly the masterpiece seems complete. And yet, the Master says that something is not good, not right. Something is missing…and that something is Eve.” First of all, lets just re-read that and think about what it meant. Creation comes to a finish not with animals, water, land, trees, birds, Adam, etc. Creation was finished after God created Eve. She was the Master’s “finishing touch”.
There are two things I thought I knew a lot about. Me (a woman) and God. Wrong. I have always thought “of course I know I’m made in His image and of course I know that God is awesome and amazing and wonderful and so much more” but I never made God and I one. I’ll explain what I mean by this. When God made Eve, He wanted to show us something about Himself. Break that down. When God made woman, it was so He could reveal Himself in a way so that we (people in general) could draw closer to Him; He gave that special gift to women. We are so important! Now, here is how the book explains what God wanted to reveal about Himself: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. This sounds simple and it sounds like something we have heard growing up knowing who God is. But, do you think that it also sounds a bit familiar to us as women? Don’t we want to be loved? Don’t we want to be a priority to someone? (I’ll raise my hand!) Wouldn’t it make sense that if we as women yearn for a loving relationship and long to be loved and persued, then we run to the person who is asking for the same thing? Jeremiah 31:3 says this: “I have loved you with an everlasting love”.
Most women are emotional and relational, and it’s okay–God is too. The longing in the heart of women to want to share a life with someone and not merely be a “tag along” is straight from God; and He feels the same way. He wants us to need Him desperately. God placed the responsibility of being an example of who God is on Women because He knew we could handle being a little emotional. The next time you find yourself feeling emotional, remember that its okay…you’ve got something in common with God our Father.
In the last few months, I have been finding comfort in knowing that God loves me in such a way that I will never be able to fully comprehend. Remember, He loves us with an everlasting love. And as women, we are able to show others God’s love in a way that only we can. God has trusted us with a great responsibility and I know that as emotional women we will get the job done. Love ‘em like Jesus y’all 
Dang, I’m a good book giver!
