1:20 am : not able to sleep
The truth? I’m lonely. I know that I’m not alone. Huh. Yahweh, I’m confused.
Genesis 2:18 – Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is right for him.”
My question. It’s been said time and time again that we are never alone because you are here. Of course there are those who say that we can be alone but never lonely because you are here.
But here’s why I’m confused, why would you say it’s not good for men to be alone if he wasn’t alone? You were there, so he wasn’t alone.
Huh. I know, I seem to be saying this a lot.
The Hebrew word translated to alone?
BAD.
I kid you not. Well obviously you know.
Alone: Bad: separation, a part, branch, by self, except, bar.
From badad. It is not good for man to be separated by themselves. But it’s the “a part” that’s making me pause. A part must have a whole. It is not good for man to be a part. To be a piece without the rest. It’s been the latest thing to say that we are a whole person by ourselves and it’s two whole people coming together. But is it though?
Eve came out of Adam.
Genesis 2:22 – Then the Lord God formed a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man. He brought her to the man.
We literally have a part of our spouse in us. Eve was made from Adam. Yahweh did not make her by herself with nothing connecting the two. The animals though they were in pairs, were not made of the other’s bone or flesh. They were made independently of each other.
But Adam and Eve were connected. They became one. No wonder Paul says it’s a great mystery. I can’t seem to find the words to express what I’m saying.
“You complete me.” These words have been castigated in recent times. It has been stated that no one “completes” you. But based on what happened, there is a piece (a part if you will) missing until you meet your spouse. It’s not 50/50 as they used to say. Got it!! What the essence of what I couldn’t see.
There is that 5% (ish) of me that is part of him. And that 5% of him that is part of me. So we are essentially holding a piece of each other and only with a couple actually coming together would the pieces be pieced together. Connected.
It’s actually such a visual that it’s hard to explain.
The Ordained couple
He has a sliver of her. She has a sliver of him. When they come together, they balance each other out. Imagine putting the other two over each other. The whole thing will look homogenous. All of this to say. There’s no sin in acknowledging that being alone isn’t “good.” and it’s good to seek the connection that will balance it all out.
And the knowledge that Yahweh was there when he said it wasn’t good, shows that he designed us to need others in addition to him. But the presentation process is not yet forthcoming. It will soon come though.
Thank you for making us the way you did. Thank you for being here and that even in you, you desire more for us. Thank you. I love you.
