It just dawned on me that it is already Women’s Month.
I have had very special moments with friends that I love and here is one realization I had: Women have different situations but one core issue. THE FEELING OF BEING UNWANTED.
This is a very important lesson you have to understand about women. We are made to have a big heart that is capable of feeling this all time. This is our everlasting issue, and I surely have my taste of it. It is a bitter experience. Women will do all sorts of things to fill this need. But there is beauty in this pain. Our God is sharing with us a taste of what He feels like when we run after other things all the time.
I think A woman’s heart reflect something about God’s heart in the way it longs to be wanted, to be needed, by us. Now some of you may say that men are like that too, but I am a woman, and I am speaking for our hearts right now (haha, sorry there is no Men’s Month :p).
Now the question to all is this: Who are the women in your life? Make them feel they are wanted. Do the best you can to appreciate their efforts, give them a hug, thank them for their presence and just give them the attention that they need in a sincere way. 
Listen to their stories. Be the friend they can count on, or the person they can lean on.
Kudos to all the women in the world.
You are beautiful, no matter what they say
Coz you have a big heart that gives and cares.
nice thoughts, ja, and point taken. i may want to split a few hairs and say it’s not as simple as all that, but what you say about feeling unwanted is indeed a central theme, and i can relate with it. i believe many women will contest that, even protest it, but i know that in a deep place it will resonate — even a wee bit — with their intimate, unspoken thoughts.
if i may split at least one hair… may i say that perhaps it is not God’s heart that is like a woman’s but a woman’s heart that is like God’s, at least in His relentless pursuit of us?
i have always wondered why God, in His ineffable self-reliance, should seek us out. why does He need us? is He lonely? is He incomplete? that cannot be true, of course. but He seeks us out anyway, because He wants to…because it is in His nature to want community…because in His completion, in His utter independence, He does not want to be by Himself.
i think women are like that too. we are not just bundles of neurotic need; in fact, we can be alone if we need to be, we are strong, we will survive. but it is not in our nature to want to be alone. like God we seek others out; and because He made us this way, we long for shalom — wholeness — in another who completes us. that is who we are.
it is good to be a woman, despite the troubles and foibles that make up the feminine experience. but is also good to be a man. God made both, and we should respect and edify and celebrate each other whenever we can. God would want us to.
taking your advice, i salute you, jana suyat, for all the things you are and the woman you are becoming. i am enjoying watching your petals unfurl.
God bless.
