How losing their femininity has moved many away from God
LOOKING AROUND it’s easy to get the impression that women have forgotten how to behave like ladies.
It seems that women have thrown femininity, that aspect of their being that makes them unique and different from men, out the window, as they compete with men in the workplace, at home and in their relationships.
One writer even admitted that aggressively pursuing her career, and a failed marriage, had caused her to lose touch with her femininity. When she went on dates men actually told her she wasn’t feminine enough.
Unfortunately, Christian women aren’t always that different. They can get so caught up with achieving career goals, volunteering in church ministries, and juggling various roles, their femininity takes a back seat.
Being feminine is one of the joys of being a woman and we express it in how we dress, how we act, how we treat others and how we relate to men. Being able to express our femininity signifies confidence, respect for ourselves and others, and celebrates the fact that God did not make a mistake when he made us.
During a recent holiday in Jamaica, I participated in many discussions about the state of black relationships. One comment several people expressed was that too many young women behave like men in their relationships by being aggressive and treating sex like it was nothing.
They said although men would happily have sex with such women, they wouldn’t have a long lasting relationship with them.
The Bible gives guidelines on the kind of qualities a woman should develop, such as a caring attitude, compassion, understanding, hardworking, have love for herself and others and be respectful.
It also lists another quality that the modern woman has great problem with – submission, particularly when relating to men. This may be due to the influence of feminism, or more likely they have witnessed their mothers, relatives and friends being abused and mistreated by the men in their lives.
However, the truth of the matter is, that feminine women understand that being submissive is not a weakness – it can be a strength if they know who they are and love themselves.
In fact, women who can be submissive when called for tend to have successful relationships with men because they set healthy boundaries for themselves, and if a man oversteps the mark they usually send them packing.
The great thing about being a 21st century woman is that the world is our oyster. Anything is achievable. But, in pursuing our goals and living up to our beliefs, women should not lose touch with their femininity.
God will direct us on how we should behave in each situation, but we will find our lives richer as a result of being who He made us to be - women who love Him, ourselves and others.
