To the woman he said,

"I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children.

Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

this verse makes me incredibly wistful as well as sad. our desire was once for God, not for man. we were created to desire God with all of our soul, with all of our thoughts and emotions, with every inhale and exhale. with all of our strength... man should be the secondary, not the primary recipient of our affections. so. what now?

I ask you - let my desire be for you. Truly, you shaped me to love you wholeheartedly.
