Genesis. 3:16

"Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." NIV

"and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." KJV

I love you, God. I think I could have been just as strong and capable as a man. I could have been just as worthy. When I think of the bravery and strength, the belief I had in myself, what I could achieve, and my talents! I had all this back when I was a little girl, but it was oh so gradually crushed, as I came to know the world around me. How we are treated, and seen.

To be a companion to man? I love that! But I don't want my desire to be for them, I want to be as much of a person as they are. The nature of sin and this awful desire we gained after the fall is almost too painful to bear. I know we brought it on ourselves, I wish it didn't happen. But I thank you for giving me a way out through the atonement of Jesus sacrifice.

I just want to be as much of a person as a man is...

Can I please be that in Heaven, if I do your work? Can I be a person there?

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
