When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man, because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide 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 rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him; nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtue in your heart. Your eyes ~ don't change them. Your lips ~ how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to touch.
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you:
my holiness, my strength,
my purity, my love,
my protection and support.
You are special because you are the extension of me. Man represents my image ~ woman, my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.
So, man ~ "Treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile." In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me. 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 I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

God loves you very much. He will never reject you or forsake you. He created you for a special purpose. He wants to have fellowship with you as a daughter or son. Do You know Him? Do you have that assurance in your heart that He is your Father, and that Heaven will be your home?
The most important question in the world is not whether we live or die, but where we will spend eternity. Do you know for sure that you would go to heaven if you would die? You can know for sure. Do you believe that what the Bible says is true? The Bible says that Jesus came to make a way for us to have peace with God, and to have an assurance of eternal life in heaven. Jesus paid the price for all of us when He died on the cross.
If you have never made Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of your life, and you are not sure that Heaven would be your home, I would like to invite you to do that right now. Do you believe that Jesus was the Son of God, that He died for us, and God raised Him from the dead? You qualify for heaven as your eternal home!
The Bible says that "If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Romans 10:9 & 10
Please pray this prayer with me... And if you mean it from your heart the Word of God says that you will go to Heaven some day.
God in Heaven
I know that I am a sinner, and I need your help. I ask You to forgive me of all of my sins, and make me clean. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, that He came and died for me, and that You raised Him from the dead.
Jesus, right now, I invite you to come into my heart. Keep me from evil, and make me the person that You want me to be. Be my Lord and Savior.
amen
I would encourage you to get into a good, Bible believing church, to read the Bible every day, and to pray. Prayer is just talking to God, just like he is your best friend. You can tell Him about your every day life, your wants, your desires and your needs. He want to fellowship with you.
This life that you have just received is not a religion, but rather a relationship with God. He loves you and wants to hear from you. And I would like to hear from you, too. If you prayed that prayer, please send me an e-mail to let me know. I would like to pray for you.
