The psyche of a mature woman

The heart of a mature woman.

As a woman, I don’t make myself too available; I have a great deal of dignity and expect to be courted, rather than chasing someone who doesn’t desire me.

As a woman, I never initiate  love; I respond with graciousness. As a woman, the wellspring of love within me is exceedingly fertile; if you sow in me the seeds of integrity, faithfulness, and honesty—qualities inherent to a man—I will bring forth respect, loyalty, and admiration for you.

As a woman, your past achievements matter, but my primary interest is seeing you for who you are right now. As a woman, I validate your dreams, your ambitions, and your fears. As a woman, I am your most fertile soil, yielding a harvest thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold. 

Fertile soil: delicious fruits!

As a woman, I was created to soften your struggles, admire the season of life you are in, and offer you my presence without reservation. As a woman, I admire your courage in showing me your vulnerability. I listen without interrupting, without minimizing or invalidating your feelings. 

As a woman, I am trustworthy; I will never use your confidences against you. As a woman, I was created emotionally strong to love, care for, support, and nurture; I do not fear the future, for I know  the Lord  holds it in His hands.

I laugh at  bad news because my heart is firm in the Lord. I am fertile soil because rivers of living waters  flow through my entire being. As a woman, I love the men in my life: my father, my husband, my biological and spiritual sons, my brothers, uncles, nephews, and friends. 

Grandma’ s pride and joy, her special man!

As a woman, my God created me as a living stone, a dwelling place for  His Spirit.  And I am not broken—I am strong! I am beautiful; I love everything about myself! The One who lives within me is enough to make me irresistible, unstoppable, full of life and love. He is the only One who keeps me strong! His name is the Lord Jesus! And He is Faithful! 

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬),

How does God widen your path? 


You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.”
(‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬ ‭NLT‬‬) 

Here, the word “path” is a metaphor. It refers to a strategic route for you to reach your destination safely. Jude 1:24 puts it this way:

“Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.” (‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬).

Your path may be that persistent thought you are trying to stifle: it is like a piece of filtering cloth; when you squeeze it, the contents seep through the  fabric. 

Persisting thoughts

It is a thought of doom, straight from hell itself. And your feet are on the verge of slipping, for the path is very narrow. You know it leads to death, yet you strive to surrender and let yourself go, only to end up walking that very same path.

That path might represent an intensely toxic relationship from which you see no other escape, an illicit business venture, or any course of action you know to be unjust. God broadens your path—the way you are meant to go—by making you feel uncomfortable and stripping away your peace; He sends people to help you and even to fill the void you feel.

God sends people to help you

When you are as stubborn as a mule and reject the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit, you run headlong into a wall.

“Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭32‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬).

🌹The Beauty of Aging 🌷

Sisters: Divine Treasure

It is wonderful that God has made everything beautiful! And when you learn to appreciate the process of things, you feel compelled to see that beauty everywhere. Beauty is a process that takes time. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says: God made everything beautiful in its own time.

Time tells us that a process is at work. To see the beauty of growing, one must understand that there is a time for it. I am captivated by the beauty I see in the growth of both men and women. Outer beauty is a reflection of your inner beauty.

Time tells us that a process is at work

Peace and contentment are reflected in the gentle lines of their foreheads; the crinkles around their eyes reveal an inner joy. In a man, gray hair and a beard inspire the respect due a gentleman; lending him an air of distinguished grace. 

In a woman, gray hair tells a story that is both powerful and tender: sleepless nights caring for a sick relative, the masterful management of scarce resources, and the fulfillment of a role that was not merely that of a teacher, but of an entire school. She is an administrator, daughter, sister, wife, lover, skilled nurse, and faithful friend. 

As she fulfilled this divine calling, she was unaware of the unique story of love and strength her life was writing. 

Mom, a story of love and strength

The man, too, managed his own empire—working in diverse environments and climates, and even facing health challenges; yet, the responsibility and strength God bestowed upon him kept him standing through the years. He was the cornerstone of his home, embodying protection, provision, and respect. 

The delicate skin of both stands as a monument to honor. I will stop here for the sake of brevity, but the beauty of aging with contentment is part of God’s design; He made everything beautiful in its own time.(Ecclesiastes 3:11).

But God has placed eternity in our hearts, which means that death does not exist—only a change of life. There are two places to choose from: eternity with the light, which is God, or eternity with the darkness, which is Satan. You can choose the light by asking the Lord Jesus to enter your heart.

My Soliloquy:  Untamed Beauty

You are an untamed beauty. Those blue eyes were my undoing. In them, I perceive calm, sensitivity, and an aura of mystery that conveys introspection and depth. And I wonder if those blue eyes have ever looked upon another person with true love. I sincerely hope that you find the joy of loving someone, just as I have found it after all these years.

My eyes are jet-black, like the dark night. Yet they possess power, elegance, and sophistication. And I borrow the words of the wisest man in the Song of Songs 1:5: “I am dark, but lovely…” For the grace of God has  been poured out upon me; my black eyes are filled with love, compassion, peace, and joy.

I’m dark, but lovely, the grace of God has poured upon me!

Colors possess a beautiful significance, yet the eye holds the greatest relevance. An eye can see its entire surroundings, and yet it is incapable of perceiving eternal reality. The eye is directly connected to the heart regarding moral choices. It is no wonder that God declares the eye to be the lamp of the body.

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” (Proverbs ‬ ‭23‬:‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬).

““The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,” (Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬). 

When you surrender your heart to Jesus, you will delight in following His ways. Then, your eye will be a lamp for every movement of your body. That is when you become untamed beauty!
