You know I am not preaching. Lord knows I believe...but, not 'churchy'. ...but, couldn't this be...the general principle of thinking on ourselves and our need to be humble...apply to our lives..each of us?
Yes, Maya speaks of women...but, why not just think person and think of the person finding his/her partner i.e. as she says the man finding the woman and it being also applicable to the woman finding the man? Why not just each...being spiritual and humble?

This is Beautiful, enjoy.
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
