A WOMAN'S HEART IN A MAN

A WOMAN'S HEART IN A MAN

 This article comes after realizing the power in a woman's heart for her children.

Ephesians 5:1-2, therefore be imitators of God as dear children.  And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

In most occasions, I am a very quiet person especially in a new environment. Sometime I sit down, observing and studying the personality of others. One of those things that I have observed in life is the woman's heart for her children. First, my mother and then others mothers in the community. 

I have never seen a woman complaining about the entire stupid and foolish things her child does while growing. The child can waste on the mother's body for the short or the long call, and instead of complaining, she stands up, clean up the mess, plus the baby. The way the baby would cry, the mother is willing to extend her hand to her child. She is always ready to listen and to train her child in the way she wants them to grow. She has a nurturing hand, slow to anger, patient for her child and always make sure that, her child understands the love of her mother.

Ephesians 5:1-2, expresses the love of God to the church (me and you).  God is a principled a God, He has a system of leadership by which He transfers His message to us. See in the first verse, Paul tells the church to imitate God as dear children. And walk in love as Christ loved the church, giving Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God. See when you go to 1 Corinthians 11, you find this order of God. Where God created man for Himself, and then He created a woman for man and then children for the woman.

THE LOVE CHAIN ORDER

God > Man>Woman >Children

As God loves man, man serves and submits to God to bring glory back to God. 

As Man loves his wife, the woman serves and submits to Man to bring glory back to Man and from Man to God.

As a Woman loves her Children, The children serves and submits to their mother to bring glory back to the mother and from the mother to the father and from the Father to God.

THE GLORY CHAIN

Children>Woman>Man>God

Therefore the wages of love is the glory upon you that is revealed by them that have received your love.

Most people have come into marriage with totally a wrong view of marriage. Thus you find them struggling with life in the marriage entered with Joy.

Some of the reasons why people marry;

You won't believe it;

Getting a solution for sexual pressure; “Patrick, stop playing with girls, you're committing adultery. You should marry.” Patrick marries so he could stop committing adultery.

"I need a woman to help me," getting a slave in form of a woman who will take care of them, from cleaning the home to laundry from laundry to all other things you know, you were told a woman should be doing at home.

A family pressure i.e. John you need to get me a grandchild before I die. Then John says, "Oh pray for me I marry." Therefore, he marries you as a baby carrier. 

If I continue, men are going to stone me. Though those reasons above might look valid without the added facts I included, but those should never be the reasons why you should marry. 

Reasons why you should marry

Love

Love 

Love

Love should be the reason for you to marry. Note this in the simplicity of love expression. 

"Love is to sacrifice (instilling your needs to hers) or surrendering your life to your woman." One of the example to this is Jesus Christ (John 3:16). Paul asks us to imitate God and to love as Christ loved the church. In addition to that, as a woman loves her child.

I chose that title above, because of what I wanted you to know. Love is mandated for man to show it to his wife. Even as Paul continued, he never said that a woman should love her husband rather he commands man to love his wife. The reason why people struggle in marriage is because we really don't know our roles in the family. Sometimes you hear some men complaining about their wives not able to share responsibility at home, they say, "my wife is working but you can never know where she puts her money, we should at least share our house bills." You see the guy really frustrated! But I want to tell you my friend, as a man cannot share the responsibility of God with God or the children with their mother’s neither will your wife share your responsibility. She is not the one to take care of you but you to take care of her. You cannot take care of God (Acts 17:24), He takes care you. Children can’t take care of their mother; the mother takes care of them. Thus the man, in the same fashion as God and the mother should take care of their wives. 

This might contradict a little bit, but for easy understanding, God has placed everyone in the family in their places to serve and build a strong family in love and serving and submission to another. Everyone has each other’s heart but in different capacities, and you should learn when to implement them. Your wife should be loved as she loves your children. You are supposed to treat her like your own child. The bible says we imitate God as His dear children. Serve God as you would like your wife to serve you and love your wife as God has loved you. I hope wives can share this article to your husbands and friends who receive this article continue to share it more to their other friends.

Prayer

Father, thank you for your Love, your love has taught me how to love. Your mercy and endurance with me has taught me how to be happy and patient with the partner you will give me. For those who already have their partners, teach them how to love, reveal to them how you have loved us, that while we were still weak in our ungodliness, Christ died for us. Teach us what we should imitate about you and our families to grow strong and last on the foundation of your love which sacrifices for others, which endures forever and forever full of mercy. May your righteousness, peace and joy express itself in our glorious families in the Holy Spirit who resides in us.

May God bless you all in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
