The Joy of The First Man

“Finally! Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh! Name her Woman for she was made from Man.” Man said. [Genesis 2:23-Message Remix]. The Man said finally! After naming all of the animals and working hard for God and being with no partner, God gives him the greatest gift- a woman, to live with, to laugh with, to play with, to talk with, to sleep with, to praise God with. A partner for life! When I read this version, I picture the man jumping around; dancing for the King and praising Him for this beautiful creation- for love; thanking God for the woman. FINALLY! He said FINALLY! The pure and original image of love and fellowship with one another, in marriage and friendship appointed by God. The man had respect and honor for the woman; he knew what it meant being alone and when he received the partner for life, who would be faithful to him, he didn’t even dare to try dishonor her. Instead he praised God for that creation. I long for this kind of love in my future spouse. I long to be the woman created for that ONE man, with whom I can praise God forever and be stronger in my service to Him. Why do woman today, give up so easily on this picture? They give up on waiting for the man God made for them, and also they give up on their purpose by lowering their standards and living unholy lives. They don’t see themselves as beautiful or holy anymore. Why don’t men seem to scream “Finally!” when they meet the girl? Because most of them are not used to waiting, and being busy with God’s business before anything else. “Finally! Bone of my bone!” This implies respect and honor for another, because the two were made out of one, and the two once again become one, in the time appointed by God. This “FINALLY!” puts smile on my face, and purifies the polluted image of purity, that the world put into my mind. I pray that God will speak to you through this story of hope, love and even more love! May God draw a picture on your heart and mind of what it means to be that man and that woman, whom God made to always glorify Him and to be united together in one, as He leads you to each other in His proper and perfect time. I’m excited!
