Who is Eve?

When I say Eve what comes to your mind?  Eve's curse, Eve's fall, Eve, thanks a million! Usually when people talk of Eve, it always seems to point out her faults.  What about the rest of her?  Wife, Mother, Helpmate, Creation.  

Eve, was the last thing created, not the oh by the way.... But here is the finishing piece.  What if she is to be the piece De Resistance.  The crowning piecee of God's creation.   Even more importantly she was created in the Trinity's image.
                      "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the creatures that move along the ground."  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26-27

She was beautiful! So are you. Second she was created with a purpose.  Have you ever noticed that before, God gave Eve a job.  A job which now is not so highly looked upon. No the less this what she was created to do, ready.
                 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Genesis 2:18
                   Then the LORD God made a women from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.  The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.  For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."  Genesis 2: 22-24.

There you have it, she was created to HELP her husband, she was his HELPMATE. Which brings the next point up, God give her the ability to influence her husband.  Just like we too have the ability to influence our husbands.  Really it is our choice shall it be for good or harm?  Will you help or hinder?  Eve, sweet Eve, chose unwisely and listened to outside influences.  Do you know anyone who would allow the world to influence the way she treated her spouse?  I do, I am guilty of allowing worldly opinions to seep in now and again.  Then, what to do?  Blame someone or admit.  Lets not Take Eve's route her lets just say forgive me.

                    When the women saw the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.  She also gave some to her husband , who was with her, and he ate it.  Genesis 3:6

Wow, she did it. She let the serpent (world) influence her.  Which she used to influence her husband.  What can we learn from this? 
1. The only true place to gain wisdom is the Bible.  It is full of wisdom. Want a fuller marriage, help raising your children or just need some advice. Check it our you might just be surprised. 
2. God gave you to your husband not to nag, lead else where, tear down; but to lift up, stand by and help.
3. When you listen to everyone but God, there will be some trouble ahead.  It might not be immediate but it will come.
4.  Eve was beautiful, created to help Adam, she was there to influence Adam, she is the mother of us all.

It is really our choice you know will we use our roles as helpmates for good or bad.  Will we seek wise counsel when we are trying to help our husband or will we seek others for that counsel?  Help mate is such a dirty word isn't?  I don't think there is anything demeaning in being placed in some ones life to help.  Helping means you also lean on.  So you can walk through life and enjoy each other. If Adam was meant to go through life alone without help, she would have never been created. Neither would have we.  Eve needed Adam as much as Adam needed Eve.

In the the light of day, I can say, Yes I am a daughter of Eve.  She was so much more than we think, and so am I.  I may fall but seeking forgiveness is much better than placing blame.
