WOMEN - PRECIOUS FOR GOD
For me it it feels important to celebrate the International Women Day to to think about woman and about their situation in the world. For me it feels important to celebrate it also because today many women are bad treated in the world today.
Women are bad treated in different ways. They are not treated as they have the same value as men sometimes . There are men who trample on them. Some men think they are above. Some men are hard on women and force them to do things with a hard heart and with no respect for the woman.
This is not how God looks at women. In Song of Solomon we can see how a husband ought look at his wife and not trample at her. For instance, in Song of Solomon we can read that the bridegroom says in chapter 2:2 that his bride is in his eyes like a lily among thorns.

You can also see how God sees a woman in Song on Solomon. He looks at them with love and does not look down at them and think they have less value than a man.
Some congregations do not understand the value of women. God can use women as much as He can use men. God also needs women to preach today. Some leaders do not understand this but this is also how God wants to use women.
Today we need voices in the world saying things. I think God can use whoever He wants in the Body of Christ to stand up for Him and to do His will and He can use women. Women are precious in God`s eyes. They need to know their value. God loves women.
A women is like a precious diamond in his hand and he do not want any to trample on this diamond! In the bible we can read read about in Genesis 29 that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah . She was blind and he looked down on her and did not love her.
But we can read that God saw this and did not like this and in Genesis 29:31 is written. "When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved he, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren." God do not like when women are bad treated we can see here. God loves the woman as much as He loves men an he want them to be respected and loved by men.

I believe however not in bitterness but in forgiveness if anyone has been bad treated. Jesus said in deepest pain - in a pain we do not understand at the cross - "Father forgive them" In Gal.3 : 28 is the words: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female for you are all one in Christ."
Here we can read that male and women are one in Christ and then they ought to be treated as this in Body of Christ. They are not always treated so because not all understand this. In Esther we can see that God used a woman to save her people. She was brave and was willing to risk her life to save her people.

She was a brave women and was used great by God. God chose to use a woman to save
all the people and He can also use woman strong today. When men learn to know God they can learn to treat women well because He is love and women are precious for Him.
Isaiah.43:4 it says how God look at woman. "Since you were precious in My sight , you have been honored, And I have loved you."

I think God wants men and women to be one in Christ standing together. And God need women today.

WOMEN ARE LIKE PRECIOUS DIAMONDS IN GOD`S EYES!
