The greatest gift God gave to man was His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the second greatest gift he gave was woman. You see. When God created man, He looked around, and noticed that man would be lonely without a mate, especially when all the other inhabitants on earth had one. So God with Divine Love, created woman from the rib of man.
Brothers, if God had taken the bone out of the man’s head, He would have meant for the woman to rule.
If God had taken the bone out of the man’s foot, He would have meant for the woman to dominate and rule.
God could have made the woman–out of the backbone, but then the woman would have been behind the man.
But no, God Almighty, full of wisdom, took the bone out of man’s side.
So that puts the woman beside the man to be a helpmate who receives love, respect, honor, and guiding protection.
Now through the years, this role model of women, whom God created, has been changed in such a manner that many men feel that a woman is less than inferior to a man. But this is wrong because a man and woman are equal, especially in the eyes of God, who created each and every one of us in His image. This type of prejudice and injustice has caused the cry for an Equal Rights Amendment and the Women’s Liberation and ME TOO Movements. In reality, this is a push for the complete freedom of the female race. That is freedom of choice, freedom from abuse, freedom of equal pay and opportunity as well as many others. Now, if we, as mature and responsive men loved, cherished, and protected our women–there would be no need for movements. But instead, we use and abuse them. Yes, they have come a long way, but they still have a long way to go.
We need our women just as they need us. In fact, if it weren’t for the Black Woman, there would be no Black Family, no Black Church, nor a Black Movement for Complete Liberation. Truly, she has been our strength in times of trouble. God knew what He was doing when He created women–and I thank him for them.
