«This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind»
(Ephesians 4: 17).
TRUE FEMININE LIBERATION isn’t, as many think, entering into a fierce struggle with men, but exercising the joy and the right of being a woman without feeling guilt or loss. This liberation consists in allowing our essence to emerge, while being able to achieve for our own sake and that of others also, all that we are allowed to do within our nature and according to God’s will. True liberation begins in Christ and by submitting to His will, every woman can become what is proposed for her. Jesus said, «You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free» (John 8:32).
Another false concept that wanders around in the minds of many is that women are empty-headed and that their potential lies only in their physical attributes. Therefore, the woman who lacks them does not have a place in a society that worships the body. God says in His Word: «We have the mind of Christ» (l Corinthians 2:16); this declaration makes me think that by having been created in His image and likeness, both, men and women, possess mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual capabilities that make them especially talented children of God.
Parents should provide opportunities so their daughters don’t place their interests only in trivial things, but they may also develop their intellectual abilities. The intelligent man and the foolish woman are one of the clichés that have most damaged the coexistence between men and women. The women: brain, as well as men’s has two hemispheres that were designed by God to fulfill specific, wonderful, and perfect tasks.
One of the most extraordinary attributes that God gave the human race is the capacity to love. This is an ability that can be learned and should be developed.
Women who are able to show tenderness are not weak; rather, they are instruments used by God to thaw the coldness of the world that lives between the blocks of steel and cement of the great cities.
Encourage your daughters to cultivate the ability to give and receive tenderness by being tender with themselves. By doing so, new generations of women will live their tender, sensitive, subtle, and loving side as something natural without thinking that this makes them weak and helpless.
