~A Beautiful Love Story~

Genesis 2:15,18-25
"15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."

Isn't that beautiful? 
To me, that is the truest form of poetry. 
God, in His Majestic Power, knew that man needed someone. 
He knew that no animal, or food, job, or pastime, could fulfill the needs of man.
 Only God could know who that was. 
Woman. 
Woven from Man.
 Bone of his Bone.
 Flesh of his Flesh.
His help meet. 
His wife.
 His 'Other-half'.
 Only God could understand how to fill that void.
Isn't that beautiful?
How God, in His Infinite Wisdom, could create a Love so pure, so strong,
that it has lasted through centuries.
But a much stronger Love, is the one He shows toward us. 
Liar's
Scorners.
Hypocrites.
And, worst of them all...
Sinners. 
A Love so strong, that He would send His only Son. 

Is'nt That Beautiful?

Ephesians 4:29-30 KJV.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
