"From Your Loving Brother in Christ"

In today's society, woman are completely torn down, chewed up, and spit out by society. I wanted to take the time to write a poem to encourage females, and let them know that there are guys that care for and love them, and to ultimately show them that they are loved by God.


From Your Loving Brother in Christ

To all my sisters, all the ladies out there,

There are a few things which I would like to make clear.

First, I want to offer an apology.

I apologize for all the lies we guys have told you

For all the tears we’ve made you cry that hurt you

Now, I realize that I cannot offer an excuse for your uncle’s abuse

Or an explanation for your father’s alienation of you and your family

But, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for the way society has reduced you into objects to be used.

How we guys treat you as trophies to be won

Rather than as treasures to be cherished and loved

We have made you into the objects of our lustful conquests

So we could have stories for our next locker room jests

We make jokes about our one night stands

Until the number of hearts we’ve shattered stands too high to be counted on two hands

We hand out heartache like its candy

Ignoring your pain like it’s all fine and dandy

But we have been wrong.

All along, We. Have. Been. Wrong.

It breaks my heart to know that we have broken yours.

I’m sorry.  

Now for the second point of attention

I recently read a statistic that states that only 4% of girls in the world would call themselves beautiful

My question is: What have we done to make the rest of you feel so unloved?

To the 96% of you who don’t feel “pretty enough”

Any guy who can’t look past your exterior to the beauty of your heart is not worth your love

Because hear me when I say, You. Are. Beautiful.

You are worthy to be loved.

You were created in God’s perfect image above.

So please, never let any guy tell you that you aren’t pretty enough.

All of these images of models you see in the magazines and TV screens

Please. They are not the standard of what beauty means.

For beauty will never be measured by how easily you fit into your jeans

Don’t buy the lie that you have to be thinner

Sticking your fingers down your throat is never the answer

If you measure yourself by society, you will never live up

For society’s priorities can never be reached

Wearing a size 2 will never bring you as much peace as you think

God made you perfect, He makes no mistakes

True beauty is found when you rest in His love, goodness, and grace.

Now let’s move on to the next point of interest

Don’t simply settle for the first guy to express his interest

There are plenty of Christian boys, but few godly men

Trust God. He’ll provide. For He knows when

When you’ll meet that man, when you will marry

He knows how many kids in your stomach you’ll carry

Please never stop pushing us guys to be better men

Whether your brother, your lover, or simply your friend

Ladies, never stop seeking Christ

He is all you need, and if you seek, you’ll find

Finding extravagant beauty and undeniable love

All wrapped up in your Father above

Loving you, pursuing you, and NEVER failing you

I beg you ladies to love God more than you love us men

For only on the ground of his love can a relationship stand

Now, for a quick review of all I have told you.

1. I’m sorry for the way we guys have treated you. We have been wrong.

2. God made you beautiful. Don’t let any guy tell you otherwise, for true beauty comes from God.

3. Never stop seeking God, for He is all you need. More than you need any guy, you need God. As much as any guy could love you, God loves you infinitely more.

So these are my words to all you ladies out there

I hope I was able to make a few things clear

From your loving brother in Christ.
