The Sensuality of God In Her Eyes

First let me say that you may want to read these posts in order. Your curiosity may lead you to read this post first, but you may miss the true meaning of the phrase “God in her eyes” if you start here.

In Merriam-Webster’s Online dictionary, sensuality is defined as: “Pertaining to, inclined to, or preoccupied with the gratification of the senses or appetites; carnal; fleshly.” There are other definitions as well and they center mostly on sexual pleasure. But for our purposes, we will emphasize the notion of the satisfaction of the physical senses.

As the alternate definitions of sensuality suggest, most of us think “sex” when the topic of sensuality is raised. If we are honest, Christian singles think a lot about sexuality. But in that regard, we are no different than other people. Our beliefs tell us that human sexuality was created by God for us to enjoy. However, what many people have done is to use “sex” for purposes other than what God intended and this results in many negative outcomes like unfulfilling relationships, broken hearts, bitter feelings, heightened suspicions and a weakened state of spiritual awareness. In light of all of this, what does the definition of sensuality that extends beyond “just sex” have to do with “God in her eyes”?

When I see God in her eyes, I see:

Sensuality - Unfortunately, most women focus on this as their main center of attraction. But this focus on sensuality masquerading as sexuality betrays a non-spiritual understanding of what spiritually minded men are attracted to. Also, this misplaced attention to their sexuality and not on their sensuality demonstrates their lack of understanding of their divine purpose.

Men are visual beings and we are attracted to what we see. But a spiritual man learns to “see” more than just the physical. Another mistake that many women make is they assume the above sentence means the man will or should ignore a physical trait the woman does not want to work on nor improve. For example, a woman who smokes and who can’t walk a short distance without gasping for breath will say that the man should like her for inner qualities. She reasons that he should ignore her wheezing cough, her tobacco stained teeth and her cigarette breath. Does that sound like God in her eyes to you?

Sensuality from a spiritual perspective says that you take seriously being a temple of God. Just like we should not place chewed pieces of gum under the pew seat or throw our bulletins on the floor after service; we should take care of our bodies. A woman with God in her eyes takes care of her hair, her nails, eats rights, wears clothes appropriate for her body size and shape, exercises and does whatever else is necessary to maintain her “temple”.

She understands that true attraction is both a physical and spiritual phenomenon. She further recognizes that her spiritual and physical natures are interrelated and this helps to heighten her sensuality. In essence, she does not neglect either nature and try to force the man to choose one or the other. Rather, she offers him the total package which is how God created her. To do otherwise, she is denying the creative design of the ultimate Creator.

That is a secret that many women miss. Most men (spiritual or not) are attracted to those qualities that make a woman unique. This uniqueness is most recognizable in her inner or spiritual attributes; not in her physical body. It is crazy to think that your body is so unique that it will make the man want to stay. To be blunt, there is a woman out there with bigger breasts or prettier eyes or sexier lips or a finer body. Don’t view your spirituality as a silent partner! Rather, use it as an ally! Become more like the woman God has created you to be. God made you with a physical body and a spiritual nature and His desire is that you view both as partners, not as warring combatants. Work on your understanding of your purpose, love, influence, hope and humanity. These are the traits that will make you truly sensual and irresistible.

When I look at her with God in her eyes, I want to see a woman that I cannot resist. Not only because she is a brick house (old fashioned term for nice body!!), but also because she is spiritually “super fine”. To me, the ultimate expression of her irresistible nature is when I can genuinely say, “Excuse me for staring, but not only are you physically attractive, but you are also beautiful spiritually!” She is consistently becoming more like the total woman that God expects of her.

A woman with God in her eyes is an awesome sight!
