When God creates Eve he calls her ezer -literally, a “life saver,” someone you need desperately when all hope is lost. A woman is a warrior too-but in a uniquely feminine way. Simply insult her children, her man, or her best friend, and you’ll get a taste of it. A woman doesn’t come alive being merely “useful.” There is something fierce in the heart of a woman. We also want to be essential, needed, irreplaceable. At some core place deep within, every woman wants to be seen, delighted in, and pursued.

Most of our addictions flair up when we feel that we are not loved or sought after, not even noticed. Nevertheless-every woman longs to be loved, to be chosen, to have someone fight for her. Now-we are not saying that being romanced is all that a woman wants nor are we saying that a woman ought to find the meaning of her life in whether she is being or has been pursued.

He says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13)! God wants to be pursued. Sunsets, flowers, music, a kiss-all his ideas. We pay a high price when we neglect the core passions of our hearts. Misplaced, forgotten, or misdirected, these desires do not simply go away they go underground and surface later in addiction, control, and shame. These are the desires that shape our hopes and dreams they are essential in order to live life as a woman. You will learn something very important about the feminine soul. Look at the movies we love, the books we read watch little girls at play. These are the core desires of a woman’s heart.
