Women reflect loving side of God
by Isa Torres, staff writer
It
doesn’t take a lot for me to realize how amazing my life is
when I am following God.
There are a lot of
things I am thankful for. If God had not provided them, I
would probably be somewhere else.
I love the women God
has given me. Their gentleness, beauty and spirit encourage
and inspire me.
Those things give
character to my mother, my girlfriend and my friends. I
believe women are the loving side of God.
While reading the
book “Feminine Mystique,” I have come to understand how a
woman has the capacity to do great things. It did not take a
book for me to realize this. But it helped as an assurance
that women have a great role in this world.
The movement that
women created so that their voices could be heard brought a
lot of revolutions, some good and some bad.
Women now are free
to pursue their dreams. A woman now can become a lawyer or
whatever she wants, and she is free to look for what is
going to make her happy.
I think those are
really good things that all of us should have. But I also
think that women breaking out from a world under men’s rule
had an affect that some did not expect.
Sometimes I ask myself if there is such a thing as too much
freedom, something such as bad freedom.
I know that we have
the freedom to choose God or not. We have the choice to
become who we want to be. And all of those decissions will
have consequences.
I believe that a
woman is someone who can hold a family together. I think a
lot more families don’t have that woman now. Forty years
ago, the case was probably different. Why is it so hard to
be happy in a country where dreams are easier to pursue?
Women could not find what made them happy, and now nothing
makes us happy.
In my life, I see
how the impact of those women who have been so present has
helped me to become something better. I want to make my
mother proud. I want to provide for the woman who I will
marry, and I want to be the best I can be.
Women are wise. They
are lovely, and I don’t know what men would do without them.
God created women to show his love. Who loves more than a
mother? Who is more beautiful than a bride?
Men are sometimes
blinded by the looks of a woman. They don’t see beyond that.
But there also are women who will let themselves be a sexual
object. That is not being clever. That is not being
beautiful.
A woman who uses her
sexuality to get what she wants is not someone who deserves
the love of a man who is willing to give his life for her.
Instead, that woman who has a dream and a will to be the
best that she can is the one who deserves the love of a true
man.
If you have potential, then use that potential. If you want
to be loved, then truly love.
Women are strong
people who usually see beyond flesh, but that could change
if they become more like men. Then what are we going to do?
