Some women secretly carry guilt that they have misappropriated as daughters, thinking it was their fault that their fathers didn't stay with their mothers. If you're one of those women, you are always trying to prove something to yourself. Growing up is hard work. It is even tougher when today's women is wrestling with yesterday's little girl. Somewhere deep beneath the painted smiles and polished nails is a longing, an aching, a void. Somewhere beneath the symbols of success lurks a feeling of incompleteness. The emptiness taints your successes and taunts your accomplishments. You are either distrustful of men as a whole or you idealize a man's attention as the epitome of success and fulfillment. You may be afraid to be alone. You may feel as if you have been alone all of your life, and you fight the feeling by adding people to your life. If you were wise, you would know that having people in your life, in your house, or even in your bed doesn't ensure that you will not be lonely. But if you really come to know God, you could be alone and still not be lonely. It is when you understand the gift of being alone that you will really be ready to share your companionship with someone else. Whenever someone is involved with you, they become a part of what was going on in you before they came around. For some men, that is traumatic because if the women isn't happy before he comes, she will soon be unhappy with him around. She will go from madly in love to distant and frustrated because she expected him to be all that she hasn't gotten out of life. At first, she is excited. Later, she is disappointed because she realizes that she is still involved with a wound from her past. It is a void that only the Holy Spirit can fill.
Most Christians are seated so high on their perch of self-righteousness that they often fail to minister to the pain behind the sin. They are concerned about the habits of sin. But they don't seem to understand that removing the act doesn't free the heart. It just represses a problem that manifest in cynicism and frustration. People are teachable when they are not in pain. It is like telling a child not to scratch a rash. She will do it even if she does it in her sleep because she is feeling discomfort. But if you can apply a soothing ointment, the habit is easily broken. I am sorry we live in a world filled with pain and rashes, with imperfections and scars. But, in all of my searching, the only thing I have found that will soothe the itching for affection and bleeding from scars is Jesus.
