GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
When the world was created, Adam had everything he had in simplicity. He was given the world to gaze at. He was given helpers in this world for him to live a good life. He was given food around him in Paradise to survive. The skies were perfect and beautiful. The world was amazing. God saw it was all good. Then it struck him that Adam needed a hand to hold as we watches the stars, a partner to discuss how wonderful this world is, how wonderful life is and a partner for Adam to dream with. God put Adam to sleep. He then made a wonderful creature. He took a rib from Man and made Woman. He made her in grace, in love, in beauty and in His perfect image. When God was done and He knew it was the right time to present it to Adam, he awoke him and showed to him his wonderful and best gift to Man. Adam was bare. Eve was bare. Nothing to hide. Nothing to brag. All in simplicity. Adam was mesmerized and amazed at God's best gift. Adam was pleased, so as Eve. Both had nothing to showoff. Nothing to brag about each other. Nothing to compete each other with. Simple and bare. In this natural occurence, it gave me a beautiful realization. God put Adam to sleep. He could have let him stay awake while He made Eve, but in His wisdom unfathomable, he did not awaken him until he was ready in perfect time. Eve was made in Gods definition of perfection. In my mind, it was right that Adam was sleeping. If he were awake, God could have asked his idea of perfection and what Adam wanted as a partner, which means, God knew what exactly Adam needed and what perfectly suits him. As a man, Adam could have dictated how he wanted Eve, conformed to the worlds' standard of physical beauty and fitting to his wants. He could have dictated what color of skin he preferred, type of nose, eyes small or big, type of body and of course I guess height and weight too! It was good that he was asleep cause God made us women is his best standards. Eve, naked as she is, was given to Adam. Eve was pleased to meet Adam. For her, Adam was the best Human God has given her. Eve was made out of man, which means Eve is a part of Adam initially, she is flesh from his own flesh. When I thought so hard about that, we as women, we as Eve, we are given Adam as a gift. Adam is basic. He is stripped from everything worldly. Eve accepted Adam, just as he is. In his uniqueness, bare, simple and plain, for her, he was perfect. This teaches me to look at Man, as a God given gift, to be loved for how he is, what is he and who he is. Bare as his soul. You are made to perfectly fit him to complete his missing rib, you are the other rib. I will not place worldly standards and will never conform to the dictates of this world just to make him perfect based on what I know is worldly perfect. He lives a good life, he loves you with all his heart, mind, soul, he has not to have all Certifications required to fit needings, because perfection is not all about how you want Adam based on your mindsets. You end up changing Adam to Channing Tatum or Chris Evans. Or you change yourself to Supermodel, noselifts, facelifts, additional jobs. Instead, let Adam be Adam. Let Eve be Eve. Adam shall lead Eve and Eve shall support Adam. Your Adam is perfect as He is. This is when you Trust in God as to molding your Adam. The catch is! While Adam is sleeping, you allow God for you to mold you as Eve. This is the part of waiting for you to be pruned, to be in the furnace to become pure Gold, to be equipped with all the readiness for the right time to encounter your Adam as soon as he wakes up. So while you wait, be excited! Be encouraged at all times! Be prepared, be ready, be equipped. Do not be anxious that you will not meet Adams prequisites, because you should know, if He is the Right Adam, you will be perfect and pleasing in his Eyes, embellished in beauty, crowned in Pearls, on white gown and with a beautiful heart, his missing rib. By the time you, Eve, is presented to Adam, you will see Adam and accept Adam as how he is, what he is, who he is and why he is as he is.Because true love is true love. Beyond reason. Beyond perfection. I am like a boat.
I stay balanced on top of the beautiful water. In the time that the tide will swing me to the left or push me to the right, I will have to remain balanced. Life is like the tide; the waves will try to test the strength of my boat. I may crack & I may get distressed. But as the boat, I can call my creator, I can call to God who designed me. However the waves are, the boat shall never tip over, for my God has control of everything. He sustains my boat to survive & stay afloat. He will tell me "Do not be afraid, for I am most powerful, I even can walk on water & I can calm even a storm" I have a BIG GOD. He holds my boat in serene still waters. Emily, June 09, 2011 |
