Have you ever asked yourself(specially if you are a woman) why we are always craving for more?!

I know this ancient argument: Women were subdued since the beginning, we were always treated as as second-class citizen.

But what is behind this statement? Is that a simple truth?

I think the answer is more complex than that. However I can relate with this feeling of not being enough, not having enough, not being recognize enough. Why is that?

Once upon a time….well, actually, this is not a fairy tale. The bible answered this question for us. In the ancient times, there was a woman that HAD EVERYTHING she could possibly want, still, she was convinced that it was not enough:

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 

^” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. “

Do you see why we keep believing in all sort of lies about ourselves, God and ultimately, about what really will make us happy and complete?! Because a woman chose to listen to a LIE, since the beginning.

She was enough already, she had a great home, a good husband, delicious food, goals to achieve with her husband , they were literally in charge of the Garden. But somehow, well, she wanted MORE.

Ironically, when we exchange what we already have but are not grateful for, for “something more” we will end up frustrated, empty handed.

Women keep listening to this ancient serpent, that now is a dragon: ‘You deserve more, this marriage is over, your life is boring, kids are a burden, you are never recognize or appreciated. Why shouldn’t you have everything you deserve?!

Hollywood for example, is now selling this idea that bored older woman should have an affair, with all sorts of distortions, because that is freedom, right?! Sure, a little research about the outcomes of divorce will dismantle this narrative.

Another polemic topic is abortion: My body, my rules. Well, actually a baby inside of you is not your body, is somebody else’ body. Man or woman, we have no right to take a life away. If you want a “baby free” life, think carefully and make the right decisions BEFORE you get pregnant.

We are buying this false idea that a successful professional life will bring the joy and realization we always craved for. But researches show that powerful women, that achieved the position of CEO, often gives up their careers to build a family and have children. Interesting ,huh?!

That is also related to the (false)narrative about the salary gap: Men earns more because they are men. Actually, men usually earns more because they spend more hours in the office and they don’t take a pause in their careers to raise their children, women does. Why? Because women chose that. They want a family too. No one is forcing them.

Another contradiction: Have you ever payed attention in the hypocrisy of Hollywood celebrities?

A lot of famous women raise the flag of abortion and women freedom while they are building a family of their own, with a lot of children. Why they don’t apply their preaching to their personal lives?!

We often want to control our lives, but the reality is that we are surrendering to the lies of those who control the narrative.

How many women who claim to be “free” are aware of the fact that they are living exactly howthis “system” (a minority with money and power preaching an evil ideology), is planning for them to live?

Broken families, mental illness, drug addictions, divorce and in the last few years, gender confusion and so on.

How can we not connect the dots? The more women promote this evil ideology that are clearly against God’s plan for women and families, the more mentally and physically sick they have become. But somehow, the blame is always on men or capitalism. Come on!

I know these topics are controversial and more complex than that. It can not be fully discussed in a short post. You are free to disagree(but please, be respectful to share your views).

However, I can assure you that I experienced this whole narrative in my own life, I felt it in my own skin. I searched the answers in those lies. They never were capable of fulfilling me.

But not everything is bad news. There is truth in the longing for something more. Because we were CREATED FOR MORE.

We, men and women were created for more: More consciousness of who we truly are. More connection with God! And this 2 things are related.

The more you know and build a relationship with your Father and Creator, the more you listen to Him. The more you listen to Him, the more you KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

There is no confusion in the heart of God and, thus, there is no mistake in who he created you to be.

He planned and designed you to be exactly as you are. This includes your personal characteristics, your sex, your qualities and flaws, and your personality. Everything has a purpose under the sky and so is your life.

Don’t be mistaken: God created you for more. There is nothing wrong with longing for meaning and happiness in life. But there are many wrong sources. If you want to find the RIGHT ONE, come and talk to Jesus!

He has a good plan and the right answer for you.

I know people are tired of religious magic formulas, shallow performances and empty promises. But God is REAL. He created you and he is THE ANSWER for your longings.

No matter how far you have gone, how broken you are right now. Jesus has a place for you and He is always available to you. You can reach out and talk to Him!

Do it now. You will never regret it.

“Father, you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works;
 my soul knows it very well.
 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
 intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
 How vast is the sum of them!
 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
 I awake, and I am still with you.” (Psalm 139:13-18)
