Tamar A Woman in the Bible

Tamar Judah's Daughter-in-law

Another Woman of the Bible,her name is Tamra.  In the bible she is the wife of Er, the first born son of Judah. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.  And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in into your brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed (children) to your brother.  But Onan refused, and so the Lord slew him also.  So Judah told his daughter-in-law to wait until his third son Shelah become of age and she may have him for her husband.  But after the child grew, Judah did not keep his promise. As time went on, Judah's wife died, and it was told to Tamar ,so Tamar had to rise up and disguised herself as a harlot and went to where Judah was and tricked Judah into giving her seed. When it was known that Tamar was with child, it was told to Judah that she had played the harlot, and Judah demanded that Tamar be brought to him so that she can be burnt.  But Tamar was a ready for her father-in-law.

Sometimes a woman gotta do what a woman gotta do.  And because Tamar raised up, the linage of Jesus Christ continued on.

Women of the Bible

 Turn, O backsliding children, said the LORD; for I am married to you: (Jeremiah 3:14ff)

God is able to make you forget your lovers.  It was hard for me to turn loose of  those things that I loved so dear.  But God's love brought me back to him, In this world, I couldn't find no love.

This world's love came with chains, contract, and no peace of mind. I found His love to be unconditional, I don't have to prove myself to him, I don't have to be perfect, because he accepts me as is, and he is able to make me whom he wants me to be.  I don't have to be in competition with other women, or family, or friends, because I put my trust in Him.

 As a woman, I don't ever feel lonely or abandoned, because his presence is ever with me. I don't have to lower my standards to get his love, because he freely gives to me without wanting anything in return.  When I need him he is always there for me to hold me, to comfort me. He is my Ishi.
