What the Bible Teaches About Women (2026/01/10)
Preamble
Imagine, as a hiker following a trail, you come to a sign at a side trail that reads, “Trail closed due to slippery conditions and possible landslides.” Would you comply with the restriction, be disgusted by it, or ignore the sign and proceed down that path?
Was that sign for your benefit, or would you see it as a limitation to your freedom?
I’ve been watching videos of seal rescues. These seals have been entangled in ropes, fishing line, nets, and similar materials. Although the rescue team members work to free them from their entanglement, these seals struggle with all their strength, biting and trying to escape.
It struck me that approaching women to help set them free from the entanglement of their old nature or their woman ways is just as dangerous, since even offering help implies they have a fault. It’s a hallmark of that nature to deny fault.
Would you be upset with a doctor who delivers bad news about your health? Or would you prefer that he keep it to himself and let you live with this worsening condition? Would you accuse the doctor of being misogynistic? Doctors cannot force a procedure on you; they need your cooperation.
We don’t like restrictions, nor do we seek bad news, but if we recognize the intent as beneficial, we will willingly accept it and comply.
Our sanctification follows this same principle. We remain in our sin nature until 1) we become aware of its activities in our lives, 2) we despise how it displeases God, affects us, and hurts those close to us, and 3) we cooperate with God as He empowers us to walk in His Spirit rather than in our flesh or sin nature, by following God’s directive.
Paul writes that the Law was given to expose our sin nature, and the Gospel was given as God’s remedy.
The Law Exposes Sin
When we read ‘Law,’ we probably think of the Ten Commandments, and they embody all we need. However, we also have these commandments fleshed out for clarity throughout the Bible.
For example, Jesus clarified one of the Ten Commandments for us:
“You have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not murder,’ and ‘whoever murders will be subjected to judgment.’ But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell. Matthew 5:21-22 (NET).
Jesus also summarized all the Law and the teachings of the prophets for us:
Jesus said to him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40 (NET).
His teaching, His word, explains His desire for us and the way we relate to those around us.
The Effects of the Fall
Our disobedience in Adam and Eve certainly affected us all, resulting in our fall into sin.
It’s all about obedience! Whose voice do we obey?
- The serpent deceived Eve.
- Eve listened to the serpent and ate the fruit.
- The woman deceived Adam.
- Adam listened to the woman and ate the fruit.
- Cain followed the promptings of sin and slew Abel.
- Samson listened to Delilah and lost his strength.
- Through Sarai’s voice, Abram begat Ishmael through Hagar, the scourge of Israel today.
A lot of harm has come from listening to the wrong voice, and it’s not about just listening; it’s about obeying that voice.
And He said, “If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight,... I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians...” Exodus 15:26 (NASB).
“If you indeed obey the LORD your God and are careful to observe all his commandments… All these blessings will come to you in abundance…” Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (NET).
“But if you ignore the LORD your God and are not careful to keep all his commandments and statutes I am giving you today, then all these curses will come upon you in full force..." Deuteronomy 28:15 (NET).
"I hear there are divisions among you... That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead" 1 Corinthians 11:18, 30 (NET).
One of the more disturbing things Jesus said is recorded in Matthew 7:22-23 (and Luke 13:25-30).
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you who behave lawlessly.’
What is the relationship between being ‘known’ by Jesus and being lawless? Obedience.
My sheep listen to [i.e. obey] my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27-28 (NET).
Again, it’s about doing what He tells us. Sheep listen to everything as a form of self-protection. Jesus' point was that His sheep follow Him; they obey His commands. It is those who choose to ignore His commands that He does not know.
"He who is of God hears [and does] the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.” John 8:47 (NASB).
Paul wrote it this way:
For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want! Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me. Romans 7:19-20 (NET).
We MUST become aware of the sin nature driving our actions and choose, with God’s help, to follow the leading of His Spirit in us.
The article focuses on how His teaching and His words impact women in particular. It is important to remember that God’s intent is always to benefit, not to deprive. Twisting God’s word to deprive us of blessing is a tactic of Satan (…did God say?) As his days diminish, his efforts to deceive increase.
If you're a Christian woman, I hope you'll read this article and consider the material. While obedience brings blessings, disobedience brings varied hardships.
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God! Galatians 5:19-21 (NET).
Jesus told the Jewish leaders that if God were their Father, they would do His deeds. Those who refuse to obey God "are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father." John 8:44 (NASB).
Refusing to do God’s word is a very serious mistake.
God, through Paul, shares with us the principle behind our behaviour.
Do you not know that…, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? Romans 6:16 (NASB).
Only those who obey God, in total disregard of the desires of their fallen nature, receive His blessing. Those who obey the fallen nature we’ve inherited from Satan are doomed to share Satan’s fate.
Jesus' sacrifice gave us the freedom to choose whom we will serve. The kingdom of God is all about selfless service—to those around us and those with authority over us.
With that perspective, let's revisit the Garden of Eden event.
Before the Fall.
Everything God created in those six creation days had ‘service’ as a primary purpose.
Even the angels were created for service.
Are [the angels] not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:14 (NASB).
I suspect it was their refusal to serve man because of ‘pride’ that led Satan and a third of the angels to rebel (disobedience is rebellion) against God’s plan and their created purpose. Their beauty and perceived superiority caused them to refuse to obey God by serving mankind; they then turned mankind into the object of their anger as revenge against God. Their self-infatuation is the root of narcissism.
As an aside, why is there no mention of female angels in the scriptures, if we can attach gender to them? Just as the serpent (Satan) chose Eve to deceive, the fallen watchers of Genesis 6 chose women, offering them the higher status of being joined to angels and to conceive by them.
Man was created to serve the garden and all of creation.
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:27-28 (NASB).
Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. Genesis 2:15 (NASB).
The man was created first.
Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 (NASB).
The woman was created to serve as her husband’s helper.
but forAdam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the LORD God… fashioned… a woman. Genesis 2:20-22 (NASB).
The woman was created to be a ezer neged—‘a helper matching his needs’ (Genesis 2:18). The Hebrew ezer appears 21 times in the OT; 16 of those refer to God as Israel’s ezer in battle (e.g., Psalm 33:20). Ladies, if God identifies Himself as an ezer to Israel, then being an ezer to your husband cannot be an issue of inferiority; rather, it’s about function or service. Jesus emptied Himself of His divinity to become a servant for you. Will you refuse God who asks this of you toward your husband? Will your answer parallel that of Mary?
“I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word.” Luke 1:38 (NET).
The woman was created out of the man (1 Corinthians 11:8).
The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. Genesis 2:22 (NASB).
Satan, in the form of a serpent, approached the woman, not the man (1 Timothy 2:1).
“the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives…” Revelation 12:9 (NASB).
Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” Genesis 3:1 (NASB).
The serpent did not begin with a frontal assault on God’s character. He began with a question—subtle, disarming, and surgically aimed at the one creature whose role made her uniquely vulnerable to the lure of self-elevation. Satan enticed the woman to question her supportive role and offered her a leading role over Adam.
The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5 (NASB).
The Fall Event
The woman, responding to sensory appeal, disobeyed God by obeying Satan (Genesis 3:1-7).
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate… Genesis 3:6 (NASB).
The man disobeyed God and obeyed his wife instead (Genesis 3:17).
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’. Genesis 3:17 (NASB).
As a result of eating, they both became self-aware and sought to cover their nakedness.
God’s Judgement
To the Woman
The woman was physically/biologically impacted by the pain of childbirth and relationally affected by not only a new reluctance to serve but also a desire to dominate. Her new impulse was to take over the role she was meant to support.
To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your labor pains; with pain you will give birth to children. You will want to control your husband, but he will dominate you.” Genesis 3:16 (NET).
“You will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.” (NLT).
"Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you" (ESV).
We read in 1 Timothy 2:15 that this painful childbirth would serve to ‘heal’ her.
Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. 1 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV).
The Greek word for saved here is sōzō, which can mean "saved," "delivered," "healed," or "made whole." The latter two, "healed," or "made whole," are more appropriate translations in this verse.
Nevertheless, women will be healed in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
What do they mean by healed?
Those in counselling services recognize that real personality change follows a ‘significant emotional experience.’
“an experience that is so mentally arresting that it becomes a catalyst for you to consider, examine, and possibly change your initial values or value system.” (Dr Morris Massey).
The experience of painful childbirth and the subsequent years of selfless service to her child could initiate the healing the woman needs to reconnect with God's purpose and role for her—learning to serve rather than dominate. We see here God's remarkable provision for women’s salvation. Where she was once driven to dominate her husband, in violation of God’s purpose for her, that healing becomes the catalyst necessary to realign her with her role of service to her husband.
"Motherhood has taught me patience, selflessness, kindness, and the art of giving without wanting anything in return... Motherhood has taught me to love." An excerpt from Abundant Life by Shemane Nugent.
Unfortunately, churches today do not teach the significance of childbirth in a woman’s sanctification. Those who have not experienced childbirth will need to be more diligent as they "continue in faith, love, and holiness with self-control."
It’s also possible that Postpartum Depression, which some experience following childbirth, may reflect the inner conflict a woman feels when the desire to rule conflicts with the new desire to serve the child. If true, acknowledging this conflict could be the first step towards resolution.
Although the husband’s role as head did not change because of the fall, the wife’s drive to control has become a source of conflict, leading to a loss of joy, peace, and fulfillment in their life together.
To the Man
As a result of the man eating the fruit, the ground from which he was made was cursed and over which he had dominion. As a result, his role as a provider would become more toilsome.
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:17-19 (NASB).
Adam's sin was that he listened to his wife's voice and ate.
We read, too, that all of nature groans in anticipation of being set free when the sons of God are revealed or uncovered.
For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. Romans 8:19 (NASB).
The Disparity in Judgements
Why was Eve more harshly judged than was Adam? Either God is a misogynist, or if He is just, then the effect of the fall had a greater impact on the woman’s life and relationships.
Throughout scripture, there is evidence of a heavy-handed approach toward women. Early cultures were aware of this, but we have lost that understanding through deception.
Women Throughout the Bible
While many remarkable women are documented in the lineage leading to Jesus’ birth, this research aims to explore disparities between men and women; aside from these few notable women, most receive little to no attention.
Mothers to Giants
Little mention is made of women until the fallen angels see the daughters of men and have children by them. Because of this union, the world falls into chaos and violence until the flood destroys all but eight people.
Were these women willing participants? Were they attracted to a status advantage in this union? We can only speculate.
Hagar
Follow the flood, women are mentioned in marriage arrangements. A notable event occurs when Sarai gives Hagar to Abram in an attempt to fulfill God’s promise that Abram’s descendants would be numerous.
So Sarai said to Abram, “Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. Genesis 16:2 (NASB).
As a result, Hagar bore Ishmael and set into motion a plague of nations that even today are a scourge to Israel.
Mariam and Aaron
Miriam and Aaron challenged Moses' headship.
Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married... they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?” And the LORD heard it. Numbers 12:1-2 (NASB).
While God rebuked them both about disrespecting Moses' God-appointed headship, why was Miriam more harshly disciplined with leprosy? Was she the instigator? Was there a deeper issue that needed to be quashed? Was she responding to a latent impulse to take over the role she was meant to support?
Proverbs of Note
The difficulties between a husband and a wife are not unique to our times. In the following verses, a greater portion of the responsibility for strained marriage relationships is on the woman. Remember, God is using these proverbs for “teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16 (NASB).
It is better to live in a corner of a roof than in a house shared with a contentious woman. Proverbs 21:9 (NASB).
It is better to live in the desert than with a nagging, irritable wife. Proverbs 21:19 (CJB).
It is better to live in a corner of the roof than in a house shared with a contentious woman. Proverbs 25:24 (NASB).
An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones. Proverbs 12:4 (NASB).
A constant dripping on a day of steady rain, and a contentious woman are alike; He who would restrain her restrains the wind, and grasps oil with his right hand. Proverbs 27:15-16 (NASB).
These proverbs depict wives who refuse to be supportive. Ladies, is God trying to highlight a problem unique to you, knowing that only when we acknowledge it can we find a solution?
Are wives the leading cause of poor marriage relationships? Are husbands not equally to blame?
Divorce Law
If a man marries a woman and she does not please him because he has found something indecent in her, then he may draw up a divorce document, give it to her, and evict her from his house. Deuteronomy 24:1 (NET).
Divorce was allowed for something deemed 'indecent' that she had done. The word, at its core, relates to something shameful involving nudity. It could not refer to adultery, since if caught, she would be stoned rather than divorced. One possibility is that withholding sexual intimacy was considered an act involving nudity.
Which spouse is more likely to withhold physical intimacy (duty) from the other, despite God's command not to?
The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 1 Corinthians 7:3-4 (NASB).
While an exceptional wife is praised and valued (Proverbs 31), those who proved inadequate were easily divorced.
One study discovered that only after several failed marriages does a woman start to look within for the cause of her difficulty in maintaining a long-term relationship. It is there she uncovers her desire to dominate and/or a corresponding aversion to submission.
Unless and until we see our sinful nature and abhor it, we cannot take steps to replace it with His nature, as we are admonished in the scriptures.
“throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy”. Ephesians 4:22-24 (NLT).
The focus on women persists as Jesus explains why God, through Moses, allowed the man to divorce his wife, while the opposite is not mentioned.
Jesus said to them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way." Matthew 19:8.
Churches today teach that divorce is only permitted in cases of adultery, even though, in Jesus’ day, both adulterers were to be stoned, making divorce unnecessary (read Divorce and Remarriage). It is interesting that the Greek word for “hardness of heart” is in the feminine form, which may be translated as "hardness of her heart.” This supports Deuteronomy, which identifies the indecency only in the woman. Today, with the influence of feminism, the aversion to submission is rampant, resisting even God’s clear command to do so.
Is divorce, too, an act of mercy on God's part? Since putting off the old nature requires our cooperation, might repeated rejections from husbands be necessary to drive a woman from blaming others into self-examination with an open heart for change?
How does this affect the life, well-being, and relationships of women today? Listen to this recording of facts for today's marriage.
“From the beginning” suggests that before the Fall, hard-heartedness was not evident.
Jesus’ Response to His Mother
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine left.” Jesus replied, “Woman, why are you saying this to me? My time has not yet come.” John 2:3-4 (NET).
Was it demeaning or disrespectful for Jesus to address his mother as ‘woman’? Was Jesus admonishing her for trying to control the timing or to direct His role or actions?
Roles in the Local Body
I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man... 1 Timothy 2:12.
Allowing a woman to exercise authority over a man, if the personality disorder assimilated in women because of Eden still strives for domination, would be tantamount to serving alcohol to a reformed addict—best avoided with all diligence. Many see this restriction on teaching and authority as male dominance rather than as an act designed to avoid triggering an addiction and destroying any progress the Holy Spirit has made in putting to death a fallen, sinful nature. Nothing should be more important to us than being transformed into the image of Jesus. Resisting this transformation feeds the fallen nature.
Women Often Symbolize Evil
Again [the angel] said, “This is their appearance in all the land (and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.” Then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening. Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” Then he said to me, “To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.” Zechariah 5:5-11 (NASB).
All named angels in the Bible are male. Here we have two entities identified as women with wings, not referred to here as angels, commissioned to carry 'wickedness' to Shinar (Babylon), where they will build a temple and a pedestal for her.
"But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality. Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds." Revelation 2:20-23 (NASB).
Jezebel was the wicked, domineering wife of Ahab, a king of Israel. She is credited with leading Ahab and Israel into spiritual adultery with idols and food sacrificed to those idols. In Thyatira, a woman labelled a Jezebel was leading people away from God’s directives. Being hard-hearted, she refused to repent; therefore, God afflicted her, and those who permitted this, with sickness.
If these letters to the churches represent the state of the churches entering the end times, then Thyatira could represent the churches of Western cultures today. At what other time have we experienced a rise in what started as feminism and is now evolving into female dominance and the emasculation of men? The feminist mantra, “Women need men like fish need bicycles,” is evidence of how completely deceived these women are today. This, coupled with a judicial system where women are rewarded for infidelity by being given possession of homes, vehicles, children, and support payments, leaving men in a state of poverty. God will throw them on a bed of sickness… Watch for it!
God’s directives remain clear: Women are not to teach or exercise authority over men.
"...the one hundred and forty-four thousand who … have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste." Revelation 14:3-4 (NASB).
What defilement did they avoid? That God had chosen these men suggests they were not immoral. Does marriage defile? One effect domineering women have is the methodical emasculation of men (Jezebel to Ahab).
The Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Isaiah describes what we believe is the account of the fall of Satan, who, in Ezekiel 28:12-13 (NETS - New English Translation of the Septuagint), is pictured as a being of beauty:
“You were a signet in likeness and a crown of beauty.
In the delight of the orchard of God you were born; you have bound on every fine stone, carnelian and topaz and emerald and carbuncle and lapis lazuli and jasper and silver and gold and ligyrion and agate and amethyst and chrysolite and beryl and onyx.
And you filled with gold your treasuries and your storerooms among you.”
Satan’s fall is told to us in Ezekiel 28:15-17:
“You were born blameless in your days from the day you were created until acts of iniquity were found in you. From the abundance of your commerce you filled your storehouses with lawlessness, and you sinned and were wounded from God’s mountain, and the cheroub drove you from the midst of the fiery stones. Your heart was exalted because of your beauty, and your knowledge was corrupted by your beauty. Because of the multitude of your sins, I threw you on the ground…”
Satan was infatuated by his beauty.
I think Satan imparted a portion of his nature to Eve at the fall. His nature parallels what we know as narcissism, named after a man (Narcissus) who was in love with his own reflection.
Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by self-deification, a drive to protect one's self-image, often at others' expense, and limited empathy for others. Among the two genders, which one spends more time and resources on appearance (hair, makeup, and attire)? They spend hours or days replaying a mistake, reshaping the event until they can blame others for it. This nature is toxic to healthy relationships.
Feminism is comparable to the first drink given to a reformed alcoholic, reigniting a latent addiction.
A higher-spectrum narcissist, like Satan, our accuser, can recall every wrong a spouse has committed. Forgiveness is not an option. This is a dangerous stance because, unless you forgive, you cannot be forgiven. If you possess this trait, you must admit it, hate it, and, without looking back as Lot's wife did, repent and act daily to crucify it. This is the first significant step on your journey to freedom.
This nature remains rampant and expanding in Satan's last days. (Click here for more information on Narcissism.) Sadly, since joy comes through serving, the narcissist cannot experience true joy.
Resolution.
The scriptures show that the fall affected women more than men. Recognizing this is essential for finding an effective solution. Without this understanding, women will continue to blame men for problems within themselves. There is no resolution in confessing the sins of others.
Christian wives, who wrestle with anger or bitterness, are experiencing this internal conflict.
I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Romans 7:21-23 (NASB).
The Holy Spirit within prompts wives to serve their husbands, while their flesh, their fallen nature, struggles to dominate him. Resolution arises from recognizing this conflict and choosing, with Holy Spirit empowerment, to obey God.
Knowing God assures us that by obeying Him, we lose nothing of value but gain more than we can imagine. God wants to help you conquer our fallen natures so that we can also experience His joy, peace, and life overflowing in His blessings.
Marriage acts as a mirror revealing the self-deifying nature within. Only then can we embrace Jesus’ character qualities developing inside, demonstrated through selfless service.
With each selfless act of service—done as unto the Lord and without seeking recognition—pause to feel or sense the love of Father flowing into your spirit.
May God's richest blessings be yours as you contemplate these things.
