I have been reading "Captivating" unveiling the Women's Soul. I know as a woman that sometimes we can forget our worth so I wanted to share this one paragraph with you. So far I would recommend this book to every women.
"Given the way creation unfolds, how it builds to ever higher and higher works of art, can there be any doubt that Eve is the crown of creation? Not an afterthought. Not a nice addition like an ornament on a tree. She is God's final touch, his piece de resistance. She fills a place in the world nothing and no one else can fill. Step to the window, ladies, if you can. Better still, find some place with a view. Look across the earth and say to yourselves, " The whole, vast whole is incomplete without me.Creation reached it zenith in me." taken from page 25
Crown of Creation. I like that. Often in churches we are told about Eve as "The helper" sometimes implied as if Eve was created as an afterthought for Adam. The one who serves and is there for his purpose only. I love the way Stasi Elderidge goes deep into the word and God's heart to reveal that we are the crown of creation. We have our own unique purpose and reveal a part of God's heart like man cannot. I would really encourage you to read this book.

This is an absolutely fantastic book and I really need to read it again!
ReplyDeletePlease pray for my friend Cicilia and I as we attempt to start a ladies ministry based on living out our identity in Christ. This book will be one of our source materials. It's been on the drawing board for years now, but this looks like the year of fruition!!!
Thank you for sharing this today. I look forwar to hearing you expound on more :)
