Blessed Girlhood: Freedom Or Chains?

Today we have a lot of freedoms as women, whether we really choose to invoke them or
not. The reason we have these freedoms and rights is because women did not see the
true value, freedoms, or blessings in being a Bibilcal woman. Women wanted to do everything that men did. They started thinking that the home was for weak little housewives, and to really be a woman, you had to define yourself by mingling with the men. It's very sad, but is the "norm" in most families. The average girl plans on attending a college to receive a diploma that basically says "Yes, I Can!".

As you may have guessed I disagree with the statement that women have to make something of themselves in the society to be free or something of worth. Being a woman in itself is freedom and a blessing.

We are free to do whatever we want, but if we eat of the fruit of "knowledge of good and evil", which is of this world, then we will surely die. Doesn't mean it will be immediately. Doesn't mean it will not bring us good before it brings the bad, but it will end with death.

Genesis 2:15-17

15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

God gave woman a man to care for her in the Garden Of Eden. He gave her a man to love
and protect her for all her life. He gave her a man to support and lead her so she
wouldn't have to worry about doing that herself. God gave woman the blessing of the
womb and the ability to care and nurture her children.

All of these blessings and freedoms are being thrown aside for a plaque on the wall in an office building and the "right of passage" as a woman. It really has become a scary thing having all these women in roles of leadership, not only in the family, but in the workplaces, schools, and government. God made man and woman differently. He just did. They each have a different role to play, each worth as much as the other because without one they'd both fall apart, and that is the genius of God.

People refuse to see these things as freedoms and blessings, and continue to seek the freedom of being "up there" in the world. It truly saddens my heart. They see these blessings as bondage and to rid themselves of these chains, in exchange for "freedom", they are binding their souls to the Lake of Fire. "Freedoms" such as Money, social standings, gadgets, expensive cars, "time alone", a great body, and many other things will not end up with you in heaven or hell. They shall all pass away.

Matthew6: 19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal:

20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Because women are no longer fulfilling their designed roles many babies are being
aborted, children are filling the government schools, men are stepping down and
letting the women "take over", and children are not being taught morals because one
teacher cannot nurture 30 students the way a mother can. Women are trading all the
blessings of God for things that will pass away when this earth is destroyed.

We are all bound to hell by sin, but the Bible says that we have been made free through Christ. People may say we are "chained" to be our housework, children, and husband, but we're chained to righteousness and to Christ, which will result in everlasting life.

Romans 6:18-22

18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

What freedoms will you take? The freedoms and blessings of being "A Biblical Woman" or
"Free Woman"?

Blessings to you as you Grow in the Grace of our Lord!
