e Story of a Rib.. Version 2

To the gals out there, "Are you willing to be the rib to protect him?.."

When God created the heavens and the earth, He spoke them into being.
When He created man,
He formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But woman,
God fashioned after He breathed the breath of life into man,
because her nostrils are too delicate.

God allowed a deep sleep to come over him
so He could patiently and perfectly fashion her.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, God fashioned her.
He chose the bone that protects man's life.
He chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,
as woman are meant to do.

Around this one bone, God shaped her....He modeled her.
God created her perfectly and beautifully.
Her characteristics are as the rib,
strong yet delicate and fragile.
She provides protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being;
his lungs hold the breath of life.
The ribcage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body.

She was not taken from his feet, to be under him,
nor was she taken from his head, to be above him.
She was taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

She is God's perfect angel.....She is God's beautiful little girl.
She has grown to be a splendid woman of excellence,
and God's eyes fill when He sees the virtues in herr heart.
Her eyes...don't change them.
Her lips, how lovely when they part in prayer.
Her nose, so perfect in form.
Her hands so gentle to touch.
God caressed her face in her deepest sleep.
God held her heart close to His.
Of all that lives and breathes, She is most like Him.

Adam walked with God in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.
He could not See Him or touch Him.
He could only feel Him.
So everything God wanted Adam to share and experience with Him, He fashioned in her;
His Holiness, His Strength, His Purity, His Love, His Protection and Support.

She is special because she is an extension of Him.
Man represents His image, woman His emotions.
Together, she represent the totality of God.

So man......treat woman well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.
In hurting her, you hurt Him.
In crushing her, you only damage your own heart;
the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man.
In humility, show him the power of emotion God has given you.
In gentle quietness, show her strength.
In love, show him that she is the rib that protects his inner self.
