Listening to every heart

I received this from a very dear friend. I share this with you.

God's Message To Women:

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate.
I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.

Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel.
You are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.

Your eyes - don't change them.
Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose, so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to touch.
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I've held your heart close to mine.

Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me. Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you: my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support. You are special because you are the extension of me. Man represents my image - woman, my emotions.

Together, you represent the totality of God.
So man - treat woman well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me.
What you do to her, you do to me.

In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

This brought tears to my eyes.

Sometimes lonliness is a terrible monster to deal with.
The only thing that pulls me through each day is knowing that not only does God love me,
But he is IN love with me.
He truly thinks I'm beautiful, doesn't see the shame I wear, or the the ugliness I dislpay, but sees a beautiful girl, his girl.
No other can complete me like him.
He loves me so much, one day he will give me a man who is perfect for me in every way, (even in complementing each others faults).
He is the one who holds me at night when I cry, he bandages my wounds when I get hurt.
He even helps me celebrate the joyous times in my life, (and sometimes I let him help blow out the candles on my birthday cake).
He walks with me, helps me learn, watches in anticipation as I discover all he has planned for my life.
Who could ever ask for anything more?
But we all do.
And thats the best part of him.
He gave his son to me, the greatest sacrifice of all, and even when I say "it's not enough, I need more!",
He gives it to me.

I love him.

Saxoness, I hope this helped. Your tribute to Him was just as beautiful, because it came from the heart.

And I am again at a loss for the words to describe my feelings. Though I choose not to believe in God, I am humbled and awed by your faith. I respect that which gives hope to anyone. This is a beautiful tribute to women, showing all of the wonderful characteristics that make them dear to my heart.
Thank you for sharing this slice of love with me, a man.

Chris, I'm now seeing the type of responses from my friend's gift as I had hoped to. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

This is sooo beautiful! Trying to type through tear shimmered eyes is hard. Thanks for sharing this. Sometimes I feel as if He doesn't care but oh how He does.

I don't believe in God either although I do believe we each have a strong faith in something or someone but I feel like I've been touched by this, not really sure how to explain but I feel as though I have a very radiant smile on my face ..

Wildchild & Rainbow ~ thank you both for commenting. It matters not to me whether one believes in God, because I would not force my beliefs on you; but that you believe is something is most important. I specifically wanted to share the beauty of this piece, for I find it quite peaceful, and truly believe it was meant to be shared. And whom to share it with? All of you here.
