The Power Of A Woman

Women are a precious gift from God but
there are some things that all men need
to know. Women are by far the deeper
and more powerful of the two sexes. No
matter how strong a man thinks he is,
he is like butter in the hands of a
woman that he loves. It is only a woman
that can carry a child for nine months
and raise that child to adulthood and
yet until the day that that woman dies
only she will know the real father of that
child.
Women are more discerning than men,
more calculating, more thoughtful, more
spiritual, more loyal, and more
disciplined and they can handle
emotional pain and psychological
torture far better than men. A woman
can suffer trauma, deprivation, shame,
sheer cruelty and beatings from a man
and still stay with him simply for the
sake of the children. A woman can do
anything and take anything for, or from,
a man that she truly loves.
A woman can be the most vicious and
dangerous of all God’s creatures when
she is hurt and scorned and when her
love is not returned.
A woman in a position of power can be
a dangerous thing because more often
than not she is motivated by emotion
and not reason or logic. If wars were to
be fought by women they would never
end.
The greatest weapon that the devil has
in his armoury are the Daughters of the
Serpent and the Children of the Sea:
those beautiful yet evil seducers whose
mission in life is to destroy men that are
called to greatness by God. The greatest
weapon that God has in his arsenal are
the Daughters of Zion and the Sisters of
Virtue: those beautiful, wise, prayerful,
discerning, prudent, patient, kind, loyal
women who are faithful unto death and
who are the enforcers and guardians of
God’s purpose in the lives of men.
A woman can kill a man that she has
lived with all her life, simply because he
never returned her love and a woman
can kill for or die for a man who loves
her and stands by her through thick and
thin. If you are rich, pretend that you are
poor to a woman and you will know her
true nature. If you are poor, pretend that
you are rich to a woman and you will
know what she is really after.
A woman that abandons a man when he
is going through difficulties is not worth
taking back when those challenges have
been overcome. Beware of a woman’s
love, for at the slightest hurt, it can turn
to hate. Women gossip and talk, yet a
woman keeps deeper secrets than any
man.
When a woman says “no” she actually
means “maybe” and when she says
“maybe” she actually means “yes”. A
woman that betrays or seeks to destroy,
ridicule or shame her husband or lover
destroys and diminishes her own spirit
and wounds her own soul; not only is
she not worthy of being loved by any,
but she is not the material for a man of
destiny, she is not of the stuff that true
women are made.
A great king with a great army can
overrun nations and yet can be
mastered and overwhelmed by the mere
touch and whisperings of a loving
woman. The love of Helen of Troy
caused the launch of a thousand ships
and the love of any woman can cause a
man to slaughter.
Women are a gift from God to men, but
like all gifts they must be pampered,
loved and given all your attention
otherwise they begin to look elsewhere
for such nourishment and care. Out of
every specie of animal ever created by
God, it is always the female gender of
that animal that is the most vicious and
dangerous and yet it is also the female
of that specie that protects and raises
the offspring in loving care.
You cannot police a woman or really
know her movements for she can be the
greatest deceiver: if she really wants to
play, she will go ahead and play and no
matter the efforts that her man makes,
it is only by divine intervention that he
will ever know. A woman is moved by
touch whilst a man is moved by sight.
A woman will die for her children and
guard her home with all she has. A
woman craves for security and
commitment above all else and without
these two she cannot truly be happy. A
woman gives, a woman takes, a woman
laughs, a woman cries, yet through all
this only she alone knows what is really
in her heart.
A woman can heave and moan in the
throes of orgasmic passion, yet deep
down she feels nothing at all but pity
and contempt for the lover that she is
deceiving.
A woman can lie still and say she feels
nothing yet her heart trembles and races
and her senses come alive and quiver
deeply just at the sound and by the
touch of the man that she truly desires.
A woman can bed a man for many years
of her life yet when confronted with the
facts can say she never met him. A
woman can love a man throughout her
life without having ever spoken to him
before.
A woman may be worshipped by the
wealthiest of princes yet secretly her
heart belongs to the poorest pauper in
town. A woman may feign respect and
love for her closest friend yet secretly
she craves for and seeks to bed that
best friend’s husband.
A woman can possess the wisdom and
foresight of an Abigail yet she can also
have the cunning and guile of a Dalilah.
A woman can bear the cruelty and
wickedness of a Jezebel yet she can
also have the courage and selflessness
of an Esther.
A woman rejected is the most
dangerous creature on God’s green
earth: for as they say ‘’hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned’’. Yet a woman
loved and that is cherished and
pampered is the greatest gift that the
heavens can offer.
That is a woman for you: they can be a
snare or a blessing. They can bring joy
or pain. They can wound or they can
heal. They are a beautiful contradiction
of love and hate and we men simply
cannot live without them.
A woman can only appreciate a man
after she has been with another. A
woman will make you feel that you are
in charge yet with sweet words and with
guile and cunning she silently controls
everything and everyone around you.
Women are the shield, the defender and
the foundation of the home. Even as the
man is the head, the woman is the neck
without which it would fall. The greatest
mistake that any man could ever make
is to underestimate or treat with levity
the power of a woman.
For it is only a dullard or a fool that
could honestly believe that he can
confine a woman to having babies and
to simply cooking in the kitchen. A
woman is irrepressable,
unbeatable,unfathomable, irresistable
and unknowable and my advice to every
man is to cherish her, to love her and to
grant her, her hearts deepest desires.
That is the secret to a woman’s heart
and what more is there to say, other
than for us to admit that the woman is
the true hero of our lives and to simply
agree that we must appease and
worship them and do all we can to keep
those pretty smiles on their beautiful yet
dangerous faces.
