Is there an aspect of God's nature that is feminine? How could God create a feminine nature if He is a He? We can see the difference between a cat's nature and a dog's nature. Even between masculine and feminine within a species. What part of God is feminine?
God is always referred to in the masculine, but He has traits that we would characterize as feminine. That doesn't mean He's a "woman"--and when He "put on flesh" He chose to reveal Himself as male. However, I believe both man and woman were created in the image of God, so yes, traits that I possess are some of the same ones that God does. That doesn't really reflect on His gender, as much as His attributes.
