Biblical Womanhood:He Made Us to Be Free

Biblical Womanhood: He Made Us to Be Free

The Dresser

My dress was made of ragged faith,

Its edges trimmed with little grace,

And weaved throughout were jagged threads

Of fabricated “patience”,

Whose cold, coarse color seemed quite dead

To life, and built a sturdy fence

To shut out hope and love.

I marched on a path that looked straight,

But curved in ways I couldn’t see,

Until it seemed it was too late,

And I saw that it wasn’t me,

But a stiff girl with a broken soul

Who wasn’t to be told she was shattered,

When she thought that she was whole.

The Submitter

I walked the road of weariness,

I believed I had to be

A blade of grass in the blowing wind,

Swaying like the rocking sea,

Heeding to each person’s whim,

But never looking back at Me.

I didn’t understand that the Lord

Was all about love, and not fear,

About helping when it’s right,

About grace, and not tears.

The Unequal

I didn’t recognize

We are all made after Him,

I didn’t realize

That each of us will win

When we follow God’s goal

To love Him faithfully,

To reach out to each broken soul.

I believed that I was not as good

But I misunderstood

What was really only

Being different.

 Conclusion

God made both men and women

To show His love to all,

And each He made to be ready

To answer His holy call.

He made us to be strong,

To live in victory,

To hope with joyful song,

He made us to be free.
