Hi ladies! Wow does this chapter fly in the face of
our culture or what?! I can't help but think of all the negative
influences there are in this particular area - TV, of course, but
magazines, billboards, advertising, all kinds of crazy stuff teaching us
to use our bodies to get our way. How it must break God's heart!!
He's created us and designed us to be beautiful women and that
"charm" he's given us is for our HUSBANDS. How much more healthy would
marriages be if we kept it to just that?!?! Interesting thought.
This is definitely an area where I have caused many a man to
stumble in the past :-( Hurts to admit that but it's true. Now I aim to
be more 'inviting' towards my husband..... body language is a huge key
between us. Brushing his hand away while I'm doing the dishes tells him
the dishes are more important :-(
He is more important, but how
am I telling him that? When we are out in public is my attention and
body language directed towards him (holding hands, walking close,
looking at him) or am I wandering apart from him (together but not
really engaged)? Make sense? Good food for thought for me here.
I love that Mary's son points out that "Everything about a
woman who loves God is different" - I want to be refreshingly different
from our culture. When our hearts and lives are totally sold out to God,
our husbands have a treasure at home that is far better than anything
(any woman) that the world may try to throw at them.
Praying we can have pure hearts, motives and 'moves' ;-)
