Kindle Notes & Highlights
The desires that God has placed into our hearts are clues as to who we really are and the role that we are meant to play.
The world is young and completely unstained. Adam is yet in his innocence and full of glory. He walks with God. Nothing stands between them. They share something none of us has ever known, only longed for: an unbroken friendship, untouched by sin. Yet something is not good? Something is missing? What could it possibly be? Eve. Woman. Femininity. Wow. Talk about significance.
What a comfort to know that this universe we live in is relational at its core, that our God is a tenderhearted God who yearns for relationship with us. If you have any doubt about that, simply look at the message he sent us in Woman. Amazing. Not only does God long for us, but he longs to be loved by us.
God must be even more glorious than this glorious creation, for it “foretells” or “displays” the glory that is God’s.
God gave Eve a beautiful form and a beautiful spirit. She expresses beauty in both. Better, she expresses beauty simply in who she is. Like God, it is her essence.
Every woman has a beauty to unveil. Every woman. Because she bears the image of God. She doesn’t have to conjure it, become a certain size to achieve it, go get it from a salon, or have plastic surgery to obtain it. No, beauty is an essence that is given to every woman at her creation. Every woman.
