There is a profound truth in the statement: "An evil woman will not recognize an angel even when he stands before her, for she sees only through the darkness of her own heart. She assumes the worst, not because of what is before her, but because of what is within her. A heart hardened by sin and blackened by bitterness cannot perceive the light of God, nor trust in the goodness He sends." This wisdom speaks to the nature of those who are consumed by their own corruption, whose view of the world is tainted by their own deceit and malice. They cannot comprehend goodness, for they do not possess it within themselves.
The Projection of Darkness
The wicked often assume the worst in others because they are incapable of seeing virtue. A woman whose soul is consumed by envy, resentment, and sin sees only those things reflected in others. If an angel were to stand before her, she would not recognize his divinity but would instead suspect deceit, manipulation, or hidden agendas. This is not because the angel is false, but because she is incapable of perceiving truth.
This phenomenon is evident in society today, where the righteous are often accused of sins they did not commit, and the guilty project their own evil onto those who are innocent. This is why so many good men are falsely condemned, why the selfless are labeled as selfish, and why those who bring light into the world are often treated with suspicion or outright hatred. The wicked cannot stand the contrast of purity against their own depravity.
The Hardening of the Heart
Scripture warns us about the danger of a hardened heart. A heart hardened by sin no longer seeks repentance, no longer desires truth, and no longer allows itself to be molded by God’s love. Instead, it becomes brittle and cold, rejecting all that is good while embracing all that is destructive. This is why the Pharisees could not recognize Christ as the Messiah—they had become so consumed by their own self-righteousness and corruption that they could not perceive the very embodiment of righteousness when He stood before them.
An evil woman, likewise, may stand in the presence of a truly good man and assume him to be a deceiver. She may accuse him of things he has not done, believing her own fabrications to be truth. She may see kindness as weakness, virtue as hypocrisy, and devotion as control. The more a woman allows bitterness and selfishness to reign in her soul, the less she will be able to trust in the goodness that God sends into her life.
The Blindness to God’s Blessings
When a heart is blackened by sin, it loses its ability to see God’s blessings. A woman consumed by darkness will push away those who genuinely love her, suspecting them of treachery when they offer her loyalty. She will reject a man who would cherish her, choosing instead those who confirm her own wicked nature.
This is why many women today prefer the company of liars and deceivers—because they themselves have become liars and deceivers. They reject strong, righteous men because such men demand accountability and virtue. They seek out manipulators because manipulation is the language they understand. A woman who has let sin consume her heart will flee from true love because true love requires transformation, and she does not want to change.
A Call to Repentance
There is, however, always hope for redemption. No heart is too blackened that it cannot be cleansed by Christ’s sacrifice. The woman who finds herself unable to trust in goodness must ask herself: Is it truly the world that is corrupt, or is it my own soul that has been poisoned? She must seek God with sincerity, allowing Him to break the chains of bitterness and pride that bind her heart. Only then will she be able to recognize the angels in her midst—the good men, the true friends, the divine blessings she once rejected.
The choice is always there: remain blind in the darkness of sin, or open one's eyes to the light of God. But make no mistake—without that transformation, an evil woman will never recognize an angel, even when he stands before her, because she does not know what goodness looks like anymore. And if she does not change, she will spend her days rejecting God’s greatest gifts while blaming the world for her own misery.
