HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Today, the world is celebrating the International Women’s Day.  So many campaigns and protests are going on fighting for gender equality and rights.  Taking every platform to be heard and to be recognized.   To let the world known that women like men have their own place here on earth too.

With all these things happening now, I was reminded that in the 1st place when God created the earth and created Adam, He knows something is missing.  Something is not right.  He knows that His creations will be more beautiful and satisfying, so He put Adam asleep.

It was only after Eve’s creation that God expressed satisfaction and said not only that all His creation was good but actually, “it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). 

As a woman, I am deeply humbled to think that while all these things are good and perfect in the sight of the Lord, only when He put a woman in the middle of the paradise, that is the only time He realized that everything was extremely good.

Just like any artist,  before he  will be finally  satisfied with his  art, he has to check  every small  details to see if something is missing or something is not right on his masterpiece.  God as our author and finisher, He made woman to complete the world.  She is the glorious end, the finishing touch of a majestic creation.    Woman is God’s last stroke to finish His masterpiece.

Women are not only precious in the eyes of the Lord but we are important also.  We play a vital and important role in this world we live in.  Our existences complete this world and everything that is within here. 

God created us for a divine purpose.  God created, molded and made us perfect for His glory. He created us not only to be an adornment but our purpose is interconnected with the needs of this world.
  
Salute to every women who dedicates their life to the wellness and welfare of many.   Those women who makes this world still   a better place to live in and willing to go far beyond their calling.  Those women who have touched the lives of others and serves as an inspiration to make a difference.  Those women whose love for others cannot be compared, that despite of their brokenness they are willing to love others unconditionally. You are the living proof that God’s creations were extremely   perfect.


So next time you think that being a woman has no place in this world.  Think it again.  Remember that God did not think so.  You are perfectly and wonderfully made by the greatest Creator of all time.  Your life speaks of God’s greatness. You are His perfect masterpiece. 

Proverbs 31:30 (NIV)

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised
