I walk into the washroom/bathroom(whatever tickles your fancy) and as always after the service ladies flock there as if there is a crusade going on. Some on the mirrors, some lining up to wait their turn to use the facilities while tapping their feet. I get all these looks that say " who does she think she is" but I take it as "she is cute"-kind of look. Ladies you get what I mean when you get these looks. So I quietly make my way to the shortest line and the stares are getting more intense as if I was getting scanned for a tumor from my feet up. I accidentally step on one of them while making my way through and all hell broke loose despite us being in Church I kept repeating the word SORRY like a broken record until she calmed down....
I have always wondered what makes us ladies see each other as enemies or competition. I thought birds of a feather flock together, I admire how guys treat each other. They rarely have beef and if they do its never that serious because in a few minutes they will be talking about the English premier league.
I believe this aspect in us is what has led to a male-dominated society. While we ladies continue sneering at each other ,giving each other those "looks" and talking behind each others back, the guys are busy sharing ideas, helping out each other and joining forces to build something big.
Leviticus 19:18 :Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
Hebrews 10:24 :Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
The first verse may as well say Do not seek revenge or bear against a fellow WOMAN but love HER as you love yourself. Ladies there will always be someone prettier, smarter, richer than you, someone with a better job, a better car, a better man, a better house than you the sooner you accept that the better! We all have our purpose on this earth and we all have our blessings.
Women have been given the ability to be nurtures and builders they hold the family together, they have the ability to give birth and nurture their children. I believe that the time when women will start seeing each other as SISTERS and work together, that is when women will realize their full potential because we get blinded with jealousy, gossip and envy that we do not allow God to work in us.
When you occupy yourself in fulfilling your God-given purpose you will have no time to envy what your fellow sister has because you will have known each of you has a different path to follow. Now your work will be to help them out to get to where you are, mentor them and allow them to realize their purpose.
So from today ladies instead of giving that girl in that cute dress that "look" tell her she looks good. instead of talking behind her back and then pretend you like her you might as well choose between the two and stick to one.
So ladies, pray that God may show you how to love HER as You love YOURSELF.
#beef?? :) Thank you Enid!
ReplyDeletejust to add on this post:
If every woman thought like the woman defined in this post (Enid) did, definately this would be a better world!
But the women we encounter so far; the worst, according to me, are those that will agree and find it normal and okay to share another woman's husband/man; and why? Cause they believe they are prettier, smarter and better than the other woman! Thing is, (wake up woman), you are not! (I slightly contradict to Enid here, but from a different angle, however we all have an equal role as women in the society.) Anyway, I personally choose to forgive them!
All women are equally made by God, and how we as women relate to each other, should be exactly how it is written in the Holy books.
Women, its high time we styled up & treated each other with more love, because only we can understand what a WOMAN is all about! Our problems, our highlights and our emotions, only we know how it feels like to be a woman. So love yourself woman, and all the other women around you!
Yeah it all goes back to us living by His word. Thank you for the comment Hun always appreciate your input
