When a woman is aligned with her divine feminine - healed, not wounded feminine energy - and feels safe in the presence of a grounded, embodied masculine, she softens.

She may appear playful, lighthearted - even somewhat childlike - not because she is weak, but because she can be held. She feels safe and can finally rest, "lay down her armour and sword".

This safety doesn't come solely from a man - it is first rooted in God's divine love. When a woman allows God into her heart, she connects to her true source of identity, power, and peace.

God is the ultimate stabilising force - the most faithful protector, provider, and pursuer. In His presence, her soul is reminded that she was never meant to carry the burden alone. She was created to thrive, to be cherished, to co-create - not to constantly survive.

When a woman steps into the role of a mother in her relationship, it often means she is with a man still in his boyhood. She becomes the one holding it all together - not because it is her soul's desire, but because no one else is.

She begins guiding, correcting, and nurturing in ways that deplete her essence, her divine feminine. This is not her God-given design - it's a distortion born of imbalance.

God never intended for a woman to mother her partner, but to be met by a man who reflects Christ-like strength, humility, and servant leadership.

When a woman leads with masculine energy - controlling, directing, pushing - it is often not because she wants to dominate, but rather because she feels she must. She's not power-hungry; she's tired, tired of waiting, tired of hoping, tired of carrying the weight of provision and protection alone.

"𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕." 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 11:28

Her soul doesn't long to dominate - it longs to trust, and when she is surrounded by instability - especially from the masculine - she instinctively steps up, even if it drains her. She doesn't have trust issues - she's been dancing with an energy that isn't trustworthy.

God's love is trustworthy, and when she anchors her heart in Him, her discernment sharpens. She no longer accepts misalignment as the standard. When a woman feels anxious or insecure in a relationship, constantly needing reassurance, it's not always insecurity - it's often discernment. The divine feminine is not fragile; she is intuitive.

She feels what isn't being said. She can sense when leadership is lacking and when safety is uncertain. Her nervous system reacts not to her own deficiency, but to an environment that is misaligned with the peace God designed her to dwell in.

When a woman overworks, burns out, and carries the weight of provision, it's rarely ambition alone. More often than not, it's survival. The divine feminine can provide, absolutely - but she was not created to live in constant hustle and depletion.

God's original intention was Eden - abundance, partnership, balance. Every woman has her own soul journey, and her evolution doesn't depend on a man because she is whole in God alone. But the energy she surrounds herself with does influence how freely she can express her softness, her radiance, her true feminine power.

Even a woman who has done her healing - who's walked through the wilderness, faced her shadows, and met herself with love - can begin to unravel in the presence of misaligned masculine energy. This doesn't make her weak; it just makes her sensitive to the truth.

So, before we blame ourselves for being "too emotional," "too intense," "too much," ask the question.....

Who am I dancing with?

Have I been trying to embody both roles when God designed me to flow in one?

Have I made space for God's love to define me, rather than the world's expectations?

The divine feminine is not receptive - she is responsive. She rises and retreats in harmony with what she is met with, and when she is met with God's presence first, she can better discern who is worthy of her softness, her strength, and her sacred essence.

Please choose partners, environments, and energies that allow your softness, your power, and your purpose to co-exist.

Choose alignment.

Choose peace.

Choose what reflects God's heart for you - because He never designed you to shrink, to harden, or to survive alone.
