To some men, women are a necessary evil, to be endured for the benefits women give.
To other men, women are valuable and valued, cherished and shown appreciation.
To Jesus Christ, women are beloved, cherished and strengthened to be witnesses in this world today.
Some cultures devalue women and keep them in subjection…not only cultures but individuals “use” women for their own purposes.

When some men look at women, lust is foremost; others look at women with contempt, distrust, rudeness, unkindness, criticism and fault-finding.
A woman hurts when not looked at with love and acceptance of herself.
How do you look at a woman? Men, beware of your attitude toward a woman, for it is clearly seen by that woman. A facial expression, a tone of voice all are “read” and sometimes what is “read” hurts.
Women, are you following Christ and choosing to love that man to whom you are married? Remember, Jesus loves him also.

(NASB) Ephesians 5:22 “Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord…”
(NASB) Ephesians 5:25 “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her…”
(NASB) Ephesians 5:33 “Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.”

Christ Jesus sees His followers (all of them) as beautiful and lovingly cherished. He does not see the blemishes in you and me…His blood covers our sins.
Do you love Him, followers of Christ: men and women? Christ sees you as clean and without faults, without any blemish! Amazing grace of God!

The Value of Women (and Men) to Jesus:
Jesus paid for your sins and mine out of His deep love for us. Our faith is to be in Him. He is the One Who brings us to His banquet table and spreads His banner of love over us. (Song of Solomon 2:4)

Are you going to sit at that table with Jesus because your faith is in Him?
