Recently I stumbled into a collection of stories by Dul Johnson, a film scriptwriter and director with many screen credits. The book, though outrageously funny and very provocative in context, contains finely crafted short stories that provoke its readers' interest. As I went through its pages line after line, I discovered some amazing things that underlie the author's choice of the topic. The grouse of the author is that women take so much time in dressing themselves up, and as a result, may dress themselves up to hell!
It should be noted that women all over the world are known with high dressings, especially during occasions. In most cases, they put up unnecessary delays that keep the men waiting. Apart from the ugly side of their actions which is delay, I have come to appreciate women for who they are. I have severally been saved from dangers as a result of a woman's delay. There are so many costly mistakes I could have made in life if not that a woman came in-between with an "unnecessary" delay. Women have a way of communicating with the future and bring back results to the present.
Men are always quick and in a hurry to jump to serious issues. Women are truly the direct opposite. They are careful, considerate and humane. God proved to us that He truly understands life more than we do. Of course, He is the Creator and Maker of all things. He knows that combining both man and woman, keeps the world going right. You can imagine bringing together two distinct personalities and blending them to become "one flesh". This is why the home front remains a target for Satan, who always struggles to mock God, yet without success.
The Bible tells us that the person who stays alone has a greater trouble because when he falls, there would be none to help him up. Marriage is what completes a man. It brings balance in a man's life and as a result, every woman's action in the home stands to be appreciated. There is a niche for the woman to fulfill. When we begin to enumerate the troubles women have saved men from by simply being themselves as wives, we would not truly see their actions as being unnecessary.
It is obvious that women like looking good, it is also like that with the men. Everybody likes looking good, because it is the way you dress that people address you. Even though women take so much time to dress themselves up, there is no point raising an alarm. God Himself took so much time in making the first woman (Eve) before presenting her to Adam as wife. You can imagine how Adam felt as he sighted the woman. When I took time to study certain things about women, I concluded that their delays in dressing themselves up may not truly hand to them an express ticket to hell. I understand that being spotless has nothing to do with physical beauty, yet what happens if we turn to behold women in their unnatural ways?
Women who dress modestly are actually sending a good message. When a woman takes time to dress, God is honoured, but when men hurry their wives up in dressing, they end up in the streets naked. Because everyone today is in a hurry, almost everything has turned awry. Our streets today are inundated with naked and shabbily dressed women. Reason? They were not allowed to take their time! And because when abomination stays with people for too long, it becomes a tradition, today's society has copied so many things that came as a result of other people's mistakes.
Notwithstanding, God is always interested in the heart, not in physical appearances. Most people will not actually make it to heaven when mundane things take the place of spiritual matters in their lives. That does not wish way the woman's natural life. It is incorrect and totally unacceptable when people fail to applaud the important roles women play in society, in their works of art. We should not see them as people who always confused in matters of choice - what to eat, wear, or look like. It is obvious that women will actually make it to heaven before some men who see them today as unfit. Only time will tell!
