Did you not know that WOMAN is special in God's eyes?
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
When I created man, I found him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone, I shaped you...
I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The ribcage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel.. You are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes... don't change them.
Your lips, how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose, so perfect in form. Your hands so gentle to touch.
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.
Adam walks with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.
You are special because you are an extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions.
Together, you represent the totality of God.
So man... treat woman well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man.
In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness, show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
Send this to the wonderful women you know and bless their day!
Send this to the men you know too. It's a good reminder for them!
..GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.!!
OMG! Thank you God for creating me a (wo-man) from the rib of man! I will be loved and respected. Adored and not neglected. I will support and act as helpmeet if man doesn't abuse, anger or mistreat. For women are fragile, beautiful inside and out and often taking on the cares of the world and that's no doubt, so men out there be strong, loving, faithful and true, remembering this letter and all that God expects of you! I love it! Great write and thanks for sharing Sapna!

This is Ranzy B. N.'s response to God about His Letter About Women:
God, You have spoken such beautiful words.
However, when you say:
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him .
If those words are true dear God, then how is it that the clergy is run by men where you do not find women in Rome and Catholic churches performing the exact same rites, that the priests, the bishops and the Pope do?
Do you find as many women as there are men in the corporate world? Or among the leaders of nations, called Presidents or Prime Ministers? Corrie Aquino must have her husband proclaimed dead before she can take the presidential seat at Malacanang. In the 20th Century, there are 192 recognized countries in the world, and there were only nine women presidents and thirty-seven women prime ministers which definitely do not bespeak of a significant numerical representation of women in such job categories. What about:
Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar (Burma)
Her party won 80% of the seats in a democratic election in 1990, but the military government refused to recognize the results.(However, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991)
Why do women have to undergo greater difficulty than men to occupy a position that comes naturally for men? Is it really natural for men to be superior than women?
And when you speak:
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
How much truth is there about that line that you speak of,my God? Below his heart is his stomach, where I provide the food that he eats for I cook for him what he wants, not what I want him to eat. He wants juicy rib eye steaks and pork chops with crispy skin on the side while broccoli, carrots and other fruits and vegetables are verboten in my repertoire. He is more married to his Marlboros and Zippo than to me. And now You say that I am responsible for his heart and lungs?
I say unto You my God---that letter you wrote made my heart swell initially as I am wont to do----but in the end, in retrospect, I have had those same experiences with my man before…..sweet kind words that seem to mean that women are more superior than men. What I do not understand is why men tend to think in terms of superordinates and subordinates? The Qabalah has a sexless God. That's how I want to be treated, with respect, without any inference to my gender.
Thank you , God , for trying to comfort me.
It's me, Ranzy---the woman who loves men inspite of all thy faults, I love thee still.

Dear Sapna;
Too often, we men do not realize the deepness of true beauty, which is woman.

A Good write! Thanks for sharing. Love, Betty Torain
When one really thinks about it, the way woman was created is...I guess....'the first cloning' to take place as she was taken from his bone(Adam's).
Your poem is unique creative beautiful and debatable.
I love the way you write and I love the way you think.The one line I don't go along with is this line:
'Man represents my image, woman my emotions.'
I think man and woman are both His image and emotions equally... namely the emotion of 'love'.But that's just my opinion and I am wrong many times so take that with a small grain of salt please as I am often odd with the general flow.
Best wishes
