In every society, the condition of women has been disparaged. Care and consideration for the labors and condition of women is something that is only the fruit of Grace. Jesus showed people that God did not create women as an afterthought. God did not intend for the battle of male and female to continue. He has respect and a purpose for womanhood and femininity. The wicked condition of the children of Israel, in the book of Judges, when they cut that poor woman into parts. It seems like a story of a people who have no scruples at all. Jesus, through the scriptures, intends to uplift and correct the male and female condition. In Christ we are putting the pieces back together. He has saved us out of the condition of disrespect of His purposes for our lives and for the cultural specifications of both. We must respect the viewpoints of male and female, if we would reflect the God who created us thusly. We must love oneanother and defer to one another in governing and in community. We are the reflection of God's mind and purpose in this world. Male and female, created He them.
God, you created me, a woman and I am Yours, help me to see the wonder of Your purposes for me in this world.
