What A Girl Wants Series

Do you ever wonder why Satan attacked Eve and not Adam? Remember that before the fall, Satan was the most beautiful of God’s creations (Ezekiel 28:12-14). He thought himself to be worthy of worship, apart from God. Then God created Eve, beauty incarnate, designed to be desirable, designed for relationships. Satan has a particular hatred of women. “There will be enmity between you and the woman, between your offspring and hers” (Genesis 3:15). Satan is the destroyer of all that is beautiful. Satan brings death – Women bring life. Women are especially hated by Satan, and especially loved by God.

Men, there is a place in your heart only a woman can fill. Women learn how to be feminine from other women, but they learn the value of being feminine from men.

What does a woman want?

[Prayer]

There is a place in our heart only God can fill. God made us unique, each crafted for a special relationship with Him. There must be a place in God’s heart that only we can fill. You’ve been pursuing us since our first breath to win our hearts.

Being a follower of Christ is not about being disciplined and obedient, and boring. It’s about heart-a-fire, eyes-blazing passionate pursuit of a personal, intimate relationship with you.

May we find love on earth, father, the kind of love you intended. But whether or not we find love on earth, I pray that we will not be satisfied with that, that we recognize that this is merely a taste of our true purpose, a relationship with you. May we, shoulder-to-shoulder with our beloved mate, or in a journey alone, pursue you passionately to the end of our days.
