The Irresistible Woman of God

There is no relationship a lady can experience that is more fulfilling than the relationship that exists between her and her Lord. It is being held in His everlasting arms that brings about healing from the damages that she has incurred in her pursuit of every other relationship. In His arms, she finds restoration. There will be times when she feels like a little girl, and in His presence she will climb into the lap of a loving father whose sound wisdom, counsel, and consistent love will insulate her from the adversary whom she must fight. Her father becomes her protector. He protects her by His spirit. He counsels her by His Word. He forgives her through His blood and she is safe in His arms.

He is the solace that heals the feminine soul and renews her mind. He is the missing ingredient that adds validity to every other pursuit of her life. If she gains everything and fails to know Him, she has nothing at all. His love for her is so pure that she will find no other like it. It is not predicated upon her performance or her appearance or her intellectual capacity. He has loved her before she was formed in the womb of her mother. His love is holy. It becomes the foundation that her character is built upon. The “Irresistible Woman” who knows the love of God is not desperate for the love of men because in His arms she has already found that for which her soul thirsts. Now, this is not to say that having Christ will fulfill every void that she has as a woman. But her satisfaction in His presence is so complete that it removes her far away from the desperate need for affection and affirmation that leads other women to grope and grasp blindly in the night. She can run to Him in every crisis and know that He will not fail her, He will not desert her, He will not leave her, and He will not change.

Strangely, women seem to possess some special ability to touch the heart of God. It is so powerful that Jeremiah, The Weeping Prophet, who was known to be a man of great compassion, still found himself needing the intercessory power of women to touch the heart of God. He said, “Send for the women of mourning and let them take up a wailing” (Jeremiah 9:17). It’s as if he knows God’s ears are open to the cry of distressed women. It is not that God favors women over men, but the Lord looks out for his daughters and takes care of their needs. Jesus promises, “If you believe on me as the scripture has said, then out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). I then challenge you, in accordance of His word, to believe in Him. You have believed in others and have been disappointed. You have believed in others and have been rejected. But this is a promise from a man who cannot lie. The challenge is for the woman to believe in Him. If you will, there will be no drought in your heart, no dryness in your spirit, and no emptiness in your life, for God will quench your thirst with living water.

There is no feeling as demanding as the thirst for water. Our bodies cannot do without water. Thirst is an incessant craving from the innermost parts of our being that will find fulfillment only as we lift to our mouths the cooling flow of refreshing water and drink deeply of it. It is this renewing, resuscitating feeling that God has promised the woman who believes in Him. Now, there are many women who have tried to quench their thirst in entrepreneurial pursuits, working feverishly to attain a position of power and financial gain. There are many women whose beauty and curvaceous bodies have allowed them to choose any man whom they would like. They have jumped from bed to bed and from arm to arm trying to find satisfaction in sexual engagements. There are even those ladies who are so romantically inclined that, although they fled from the temptations of promiscuity, they were vulnerable to any sign of affection to them from a male suitor. But there is something that every wise woman must understand. There is no human relationship that can quench the thirst of the soul like the touch of God.

If you have been searching all your life for something that seems to evade you, if you have diligently pursued success and all of its many trappings and still there is an aching inside that reminds you something is missing, I would like to recommend the only thirst quencher that can satisfy the longing of the human soul, His name is Jesus. His arms are stretched wide, His voice is calm, His wisdom is stable, His counsel is sure and He will hold you through the night.

It is time for you to open yourself to knowing Him in a deeper way than you have ever known Him before. He is more than a weekly visitation to a stone building that we call a church. He is more than the historical perspective we find the leather-bound book we call a Bible. He is more than a morsel of bread and a small cup of wine we call communion. He is the epitome of life. He is the central force from which all things emerge. “By Him all things consist” (Col. 1:17).

Jesus is the secret weapon of the “Irresistible Woman” who is armed for the times. She carries Him everywhere she goes. Whether she walks with an attaché case and dresses in a business suit or she stays home warming nursing bottles, He is her secret weapon. Without Him, she will always be vulnerable. Without Him, she will never be sure of anything, anyone or herself. He is the foundation from which she builds.

You may ask, “How can I embrace a God I cannot see? What comfort will I derive from speaking to a God I cannot hear? What fulfillment can be gained from intimacy with a God I cannot touch?”

I’m glad you asked. God is not man. You do not approach Him with your flesh. He is in your heart. It is in the very depths of your spirit that you can touch Him and if you listen with your inner ear, you can hear Him speak to you. When life is at its worst, He speaks the loudest. You can embrace Him through praise. In order to praise Him, you must believe in Him. In order to raise your hands and smile at God who cannot be seen, you must be a woman of faith, a woman who believes. In order to wake up in the morning and place your feet on the floor and lift your head toward heaven and thank Him for another day, you must be a woman who is intuitive enough to sense that you did not wake up by yourself. It is this kind of believing that releases the fountain of living water. It is believing Him to have the compassion to navigate you through the clutter and chaos of life. It is believing that when seemingly senseless tragedy strikes, He will not allow you to fall. This level of faith may make some sneer and laugh, but it is the kind of faith that releases the water a woman needs to survive. If a woman draws her water from Him, then she will not feel so parched in the presence of people. She will not walk through life with vulnerable eyes and a questioning expression on her face. She will wake up singing in the morning, fulfilled and complete in the night because she has found Him whom her soul loveth.

You are that “Woman of God.”
