Eve's Creation Genesis 2:21-25

As I said in the previous entry we are discussing the women of the bible and of course our first woman is Eve. Here it tells us that God saw that Adam needed a help mate. God took one of Adams ribs to make Eve. She was meant to be an equal. When Adam woke he immediately recognized that Eve was like him, created in the image of God. She was not just like him she was of his own flesh. There are just 3 verses that give us any indication of Adam and Eve's relationship with one another and with God before we see the Fall. I have read this a thousand times and never given a thought to what must have their relationship have been like? No fear of rejection, no worrying if you were pretty enough, just love. Eve didn't wonder if she had gained weight and Adam didn't worry if he made enough money. They lived to serve the Lord together in truth, no games, no sin. What was their married relationship like in that brief euphoria? I can only imagine what that must have been like. Can you imagine what God's full focused love must feel like? A love not clouded by sin but free and without any dimming. Did Adam and Eve feel like this for each other? Their praises to the Lord must have been unbelievable. God must have so enjoyed the worship that they showered upon him. Now comes the hard part, tomorrow night we will discuss the pain that God must have endured and the guilt that both Adam and Eve must have felt. God thank you for all you do even though we continue to hurt and disapoint you. Lord help us to strive to be what you intended us to be. Amen.
