Genesis 1:27 ~ male and female he created them
Reprinted (mostly!) from Tuesday, September 09, 2014
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 2 gives Adam a longer time being alone and then woman is made from Adam’s rib. The first few Chapters of Genesis have some mystery. Both Genesis chapters let us know, the blueprint image of man – God’s image – has male and female aspects. Adam’s rib was removed to create woman, Adam was split (forgive the pun) to be the Adam we consider mankind today.
God isn't uptight about sex, the sexes or the division. God created ALL of this. God doesn't favor men, He has aspects of mankind - both men and women. I like God, He is clear about what He believes!
God does have an agenda.
And it isn't a Learning Not to Be Seen just blend in Agenda. God steps out and says His Agenda. John the Disciple found this enough to risk and change his life - God is Love.
Not God has love. Not God loves you. Instead, far more. God Is Love. God Is Love and God explains the Way, Truth and Life. This is the place God says where Love is protected, sheltered, and allowed to have room to grow. This is where I want to be and I hope you do too!
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. "
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Proverbs 1 honors women as the female aspect of God being wisdom.
Ephesians 5:25-33

Proverbs 1 honors women as the female aspect of God being wisdom.
The Lord honors women in Proverbs 1. He doesn't dwell on father, verses 8 and 9 says honor both parents. This is parental advice from God the parent. Abba encourages Love because He is Love.
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young—
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction
and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
9 They are a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.
10 My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.
11 If they say, "Come along with us;
let's lie in wait for innocent blood,
let's ambush some harmless soul;
12 let's swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot"—
15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
16 for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood.
17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the life of those who get it.
20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,
she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:
22 "How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse to listen when I call
and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me,
29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the LORD.
30 Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm."

None of us have lived with ease, without fear of harm these last two years.
God isn't so worried. He has a Plan.
God's Plan is going Forth to Fill His Word and Give God the Glory.
We shall rejoice and be glad in Him.
This is the Day.
This is the Day the Lord hath made!
Abba, Father,
Dwell in me!
Help me to Seek You First!
Bless those I love and the People You've given me
to have You dwell in us all and Help us all Seek You First.
When I made the Lord's Prayer Gif above, I was concerned the Kingdom of God
was hidden in the landscape. You are not Hidden, Father God.
The Flaw in the Gif is made Strong in Jesus Christ.
Father, it is in the heart, mind and soul of all of our prayers
Your Kingdom is seen more and more on this earth.
Jesus has said to me and to you, "Pray for more of God's Good Kingdom
to be done on earth as in Heaven."
What astonishing Good Fortune!
How Blessed we are to Serve the God of Love.
Love God, Love His Creation, Ask for This Marvelous Help!
Pray with Hope, Expect You to be Pleased and Thrilled
and filled with Love at this Prayer.
And in the Power and Glory of the Highest Name of Jesus,
we will begin to look and see more of God's Heaven on this earth.
May God Bless Edward, our family,
our mothers, Dee, Elliott, and all who are still
very concerned over the God Sized Events of the last two years.
The Bible is being Incredibly Read These Years
Have All Hope.
Lift again tired dog path knees and straighten again
Hebrews 12:11-15
11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore lift
your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
13 and make straight paths for your feet,
so that what is lame may not be put out of joint
but
rather
be healed!
14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God;
that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble,
and by it many become defiled.
Let the Love God is Strengthen us to Joy.
Our Path to be in His Plan.
In the Wonderful and the
Highest Name of Jesus Christ.
Amen in His Joy. Amen.
