God Made Woman

The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."

Genesis 2:23


There is just something special about a woman. The curve of her cheek, the smell of her hair, her shapely silouette. In my humble opinion, the female form is some of God's best work. Sure there are mountains that astonish and waterfalls that take your breath away. And shots from the Hubble telescope are quite amazing. But WOMAN... WOMAN... There is something to behold.

Sometime in life you find yourself in the company of a certain woman, one that seems to see right through the walls that we build around our hearts. Like armor for sheep, she easily steps right through the barriers and touches your soul. You sit there at the moment and stare at her... and you know what Adam must have felt...

"WOW! God... This living, breathing being is perfect for me... I am no longer alone."
God Made Woman
Keith Urban

It must've been the most beautiful day
Looking down on all creation
He took a river that winds and turns
He took a fire that breathes and burns
And put it all in place
In the most precious way

When God made woman
He must've been proud
He must've been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must've felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman




Modigliani was a painter that got God's greatest creation. In his paintings he abstracted men to be angular and course. Woman he made curved, elegant, subtle, quiet, passionate and always long necked and graceful. I look at Modi's work and I see that woman, that Eve... that perfect woman that comes along and makes you whole.




God never wanted us to be alone. He made people for us to find, to stare at.... to fall in love with and to take our breath away. Thank Him for the wonderful gift of love... His wonderful gift of woman.
