Dear Women,
A) Ladies, I want to address a trend that's really troubling. We get really upset when guys objectify us and treat us like meat. We hate it when they talk about our bodies like they're something to be devoured instead of a part of the temple of the Holy Spirit that we are.
Somehow, however, in our culture we've decided as women that, if guys are going to treat US like meat, we're going to treat THEM like meat. As if by objectifying them as well we'll get some form of "power" or "upper hand".
Not sure what I'm talking about? Does "man candy monday" ring a bell? Have you been on pinterest and seen pictures of hot guys without their shirts on being pinned? Do you have a pinterest board filled with pictures of celebrity men showing off their abs?
Ladies. Is this how we're guarding our hearts?
I can't speak for you, but I really want to do everything I can to honor God as well as my future husband. I know one way I can guard my heart is by not giving myself a false representation of what men should look like.
I don't want guys walking around with a picture of a Victoria's Secret model thinking that's what we all should look like and being disappointed when we don't. Likewise, I don't think we should expect all men to look like celebrities. This gives us false expectations of what God intended.
When you get married, your husband becomes your expectation for a man. He is your definition of what a man should look like, not some guy in a magazine. Likewise, we as women, should be our husbands' definition of beautiful.
So, I guess what I'm saying is this: guard your hearts. Don't demean men and make them objects, and pray that they do the same. By objectifying men we aren't gaining anything, and we definitely aren't gaining their respect. Treat them as human beings.
Guard your hearts. Respect our men. Respect yourselves. Respect God and His creation.
B) Women, pray for the men around you. Pray for your fathers. Pray for your brothers. Pray for your friends. Pray for the guys around you. They daily have to fight to maintain their purity of mind and resist temptation.
If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to contact me, I'd love to talk!
Blessings,
Aunica
