Thinking About Eve

Eve - Her life, journey 

When we start off reading about Eve, the story sounds cliched (no offense - I'm referring to how many times the beginning story is read and preached about!). 

The perfect woman saw how imperfect she could be when God's not around. 

Eve Saw the Before & After

The first lady saw the before and after version of the perfect earth. More or less, she must think it was solely her responsibility to have the earth totally change in front of her own eyes. She not only crossed a line herself but also dragged Adam into it. 

We need to remember here that Eve was created to provide a suitable helper for Adam. But the way she chose to help him made him the ultimate breadwinner of the family. Also, from the helper (an exact equal), she got demoted to being ruled by her husband. 

My mind is going tangent here..as I want to discuss a lot of things about her, but let's just discuss how awesome she handled it all. 

Handling it, Well! 

Knowing the best of the two worlds and realizing that she is now on the other side of the best world ( out of the garden of Eden), she gets the right sense of what life is all about! Both Eve and her husband saw God eye to eye with ease, now the situation had changed. 

Get It Right This Time

She SURVIVED to handle the world's new chapter with SIN, which was started by her. 

She realized that Eden or no Eden, eyes open or eyes closed, wisdom, or no wisdom, life is how it is because of God! 

Giving birth to Seth, she says, "Dear Adam, this is not about you and me, this is about GOD!" HE gave us children. Now she's talking, I say! 

Her Lessons - Our Reminders 

She handled the truth of her own and her husband's colossal failure and loss, 
She handled that fact that she boisterously stepped out of God's plan, 
She handled that now, life has changed too drastically that is going to difficult,
She realized that blaming someone isn't going to exempt her from the consequences of her choices,
She realized that she rather take the blame and get her act straight before it is too late! 

The perfect woman saw how imperfect she could be when God's not around. 
Isn't that what we all are?

Discouragement

Hey there! Are you discouraged? So am I! Well, in the world of all pop and success. Let us accept that there are days when we feel discouraged, down, and depressed. I too have those days, when I question everything I do when I feel my work isn't enough. When I don't feel I am good enough for anything in particular. When nothing seems to change or work out. BUT  Our God is a God of ALL times. If we are discouraged we must go to HIM and tell him that we are discouraged. AND We should acknowledge HIS sovereignty over our situation and seek HIS help to deal with, endure and hopefully get out of these discouraging situations. WHY? Because there are times that God allows discouragement to shape us - Joseph & David are an example. And if Satan discourages us, HE allows it too! - Job is an example. So we must remember this verse " all things work for good to those who love that Lord." My Plea I encourage you to fill your mind with positive though

Dear Judas, with love

It takes a Judas iscariot to betray. Anyone could have handed over Christ! But it takes only Judas to betray, One among the twelve, he must have seen the lame walk, The blind see, the deaf hear and the dead raised to life. The one who felt the love of Christ and participated in the 'first communion ever' . And betrayed Christ with a loving kiss! It takes a Brutus to stab Ceaser, A loved and trusted Delilah to chop Samson's hair, And A David to slay Uriah. A barking donkey or a braying dog can do no harm. It's the ones closest to our hearts that can draw a sword into it. The only bright side of this is that we've had the courage , Courage to be vulnerable enough and love someone so bad that they could bruise us this immensely. Courage? When I hear this I'm reminded of "Courage the cowardly fool".

No brains needed...only heart, faith and love

This is an excerpt from the time I went to tenali. Down here in Tenali, Attending a church that my aunt used to attend. Women outnumber men ( this at least proves that most men aren't hypocrites ) The women here sing, according to their inspiration, each one a different song. No tempo, no tune, no melody, no nothing! A braying donkey win a competition with these people here. Beethoven would commit suicide twice. A little kid on a rustic drum playing the same beat for every song which obviously doesn't go with the song, people clapping hands with a don't care syndrome for basic rhythm is all you can find. BUT you know what? ( and this but makes all the difference of course ) God blessed these people with himself. You could sense the presence of God in this place. He rejoices even over their ignorance be it in terms of intellect or music... His measuring scales are deeper and wider than we can even comprehend. He sees the heart, he understands humane limitations
