We cannot bring forth life unless we first receive.
As women we live this truth in a very special way. As women we receive “the seed” and we are the garden in which it grows. Although, being receptive is what is most true to our nature as women, many of us have a hard time receiving. There is so much talk in spiritual books about being generous but not enough about being receptive. I remember a time of great distress in my life and I would wail and cry to Jesus to help me. I had felt that He did not care because He was not doing anything to change my situation. Three times and in three different ways, Jesus said to me, “Let Me do it.”
It was then that I realized that He wanted to give to me and take care of me but I was not letting Him. I saw how I was not feeling loved because I would not let Him love me.
I see this often in relationship and marriages. Women don’t feel like their husbands love them but it is because they won’t let them. There are three mistakes we make: 1. We don’t ask for what we need. 2. We don’t trust them to give it to us (We don’t let them do it.) 3. We try to control how it’s done and it’s timing. (We don’t surrender/receive.)
Jesus is a man and our first spouse. We must learn to receive His seed into our hearts in order to be the spiritual mothers to the world. May we always be willing to receive His love which comes to us in every form and in every way. Jesus revealed to me in prayer that the biggest wound of His heart is that His love is not received.
