I can and will give you inspiration, motivation, and affirm you through my words, but one thing I can not do is validate your soul. The one thing that lies empty in your spirit that is longing for validation can only be filled with the love of Christ.
I have been reading a chapter from: Captivating – Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul by John & Stasi Eldredge, to prepare for an upcoming BlogTalk radio show. The most interesting thing about this chapter entitled: Arousing Adam is a great eye-opener to what we as women fail to do in our relationships with the men in our lives. Yeah at first glance the title might take your mind somewhere else, as it did me when the hosts of the show invited me to join them as a guest host to talk about “Arousing Your Man (Adam)”. Immediately we think carnally about arousing a man in the natural, but this information is much deeper. A spiritual arousal that we as woman can do for our men. But one of the most amazing important revelations of the chapter was that we can’t validate Adam’s soul and neither can our Adam validate ours.
But we often turn to each other to do just that and that is when we miss the mark of our role for each other. However, the part that we should be playing is the arousal of Adam’s spirit and soul to seek out it’s true validation from God. We have a wonderful, perfect role to play as women and when we understand that place we can experience the type of love that God created for a husband and wife (women and men) to have. We can affirm, inspire, and motivate our Adam that he is a man in every sense. We can need him as our help mate and we “believe in him”. This sisters is our role. And from the man, he can affirm, inspire, and motivate us to know that we are a woman in every sense. Our femininity arouses his masculinity. We allow him to be the hero that he is born to be, the man. He in turn can inspire us to be feminine as he is attracted to the beauty inside and out that makes us a woman. God created us to be that for each other and it is wonder to behold when we get it right!
