Gerry Gutierrez' Update
Honoring godly women on Independence Day. “Women follow Jesus to the end and
beyond.”
Some women brag
about themselves as the perfection of God’s creative powers while they refer to
man as God practicing to finally create his masterpiece in women. I brag about the
Creation that revealed the glory of God and man (that is male and female)
revealing fully the glory of God but only Jesus revealing PERFECTLY the glory
of God. My personal
admiration is not for any male or female based on their strength or beauty but
in their wisdom and faithfulness to follow perfect Jesus to the end. When all things
were said and done, it is women I find at the foot of the cross who had come
following Jesus from Galilee to care for Jesus and his needs. To Eve was the
promise of the seed, to Mary was the Seed of God given, other faithful Mary’s
were at the cross and to a Mary Jesus first appeared after his
resurrection. Those are undisputed facts. I am a man and a
follower of Jesus. Without the help of my wife I believe I would have been
totally lost, in jail or dead already. In the same way,
without the Holy Spirit, the helper of the believer, I would without a doubt be
on my way to hell or already be there. Man is the crown
of God’s creation, but woman is the only being in the whole universe of God
that bear the tittle of God the Holy Spirit as helper, comforter, remainder,
guide and teacher. A Great deal is
made about men in the spot light of history that provokes resentment among
women that like the ERA. The Equal Rights Amendment is one of many evidences of
such resentment. But God, the
sovereign equalizer, puts women in prominent roles. Without them it is not only
hard nor impossible to imagine history but it would be inconceivable. Practically
speaking not from the Lord but from reason alone, man is only as good as his
seed. But according science men can be replaced by a sperm
bank to perpetuate the human race but women are indispensable for
conception when the life of an individual starts followed by gestation and
birth. Women like the
Holy Spirit are very powerful beings and the wisdom of God saw to it that they is under the authority of their husbands. Just as the Holy
Spirit is not an independent Holy Spirit but it is the Holy Spirit of Jesus to
whom Jesus “SENT” to us in order to help us to do His will. At the bottom
line, men have to admit that women are more faithful to God than men because in
silence they suffer the weight of the cross knowing before hand that the sword
will pierce their hearts with no one to share their agony but with God. It is said that,
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” Even Jesus honors
women with the possibility to become his mother and sister by doing his will,
but men are only offered the possibility to become a brother of Jesus but never
a father of Jesus. Men are in a
seesaw relationship of love and hate disguised in jealousy and envy with his
fellow man. Women observe and have time to process in holy silence and judge in
fairness and exercise their spiritual oversight being led by the gentle but
powerful Holy Spirit. While some men
use the power of the volume of their voice to pull rank over others seeking to
control; women on the other hand in gentleness plant a time bomb in the hearts
of men they love and wait on the Lord who honors their faith and make it shine
as noon day light. Aren’t you glad
my brothers that we men are “In charge” but we are not going anywhere if we do
not listen to our wives as our gift from God? I am so thankful
to my wife Ruthie that unbeknownst to her she has assembly an small army of her
friends that in her name and in her honor they exercise gentle oversight with
their encouraging help and words of wisdom that I receive every now and then
from them. It is like a sweet chewing gum that I make it lasts for a long time. Not long ago a
wonderful and beautiful woman in the spotlight of our country said as her first
public act in front of millions “Let us Pray.” Gerry Gutierrez.
