******TEN REASONS GOD CREATED EVE *******

10. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because He knew men would never ask directions.



9. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote because men don�t want to see what�s on television�.they want to see WHAT ELSE is on television.



8. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when the seat wore out and therefore would need Eve to get one for him.



7. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor�s appointment for himself.



6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.



5. God knew that if the world were to be populated, there would have to be someone to bear children, because men would never be able to handle it.



4. As �Keeper of the Garden�, Adam would never remember where he put his tools.



3. The scriptural account of Creation indicates that Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.



2. As the Bible says, �It is not good for man to be alone�. He only ends up getting himself in trouble.



1. When God finished the creation of Adam, he stepped back, scratched his head and said, �I can do better than that�.

A Thorn In My Flesh



Lord, there is a thorn in my flesh, I can feel it constantly whispering in my ear

Causing conflicting emotions, making Your voice seem less clear

The spirit of doubt is overwhelming me, let me know that my prayers� You hear

Jesus, I could live so much more like you if you�d just make this thorn disappear



Suddenly, a still small voice��My child you can persevere�



I have done my best to ignore, but I don�t know how much more�

Please God I implore, would you please remove this thorn

My eyes betray me, showing me things I shouldn�t see

My legs won�t obey me, leading me places I shouldn�t be

Lord please remove this thorn, you said "by your stripes we are healed�

Oh God I pray, I want to live life Your way, this can't be how a saint should feel



The still small voice arose again��Does not Romans 8:18 say, the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall later be revealed?



Sometimes my only fear of sin, is the fear of being caught

Something residing deep within, fights everything I�ve been taught

Like David I prayed, �God, search my heart, remove all my wicked ways�

Create in me a clean heart so I'll have no choice but to praise.

This weakness in my flesh I can't confess...or talk to anyone but God

Others think I'm just so strong, if they only knew I prayed this hard

Lord, this thorn in my flesh pains my spirit, and forces me often to my knees

I�ve lived a decent life for a while now, isn�t it time for me to be free?



I felt a tear roll down my face as the voice said, �My grace�.is sufficient for thee�



Jesus, Your grace, it�s Your grace�

In taking my sinful place on that rugged cross

It�s by Your grace that though there be many thorns I face,

I am never, ever lost

It�s Your grace�that allows me to walk through the fires, and weather any storm

It�s grace, that though my life is far from perfect you embrace me and love me

As Your own

In the name of Jesus I will resist the enemy,

So thankful for where You brought me from

Continue to make me, shape me and break me, right now I'm so far from done

And Lord if you can wear a crown of thorns on your head, surely I can endure my pain, praise You and press on. Amen



�Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.� - 2 Cor. 12:9-10



Endure internal struggle, strive for eternal glory�

I thought I'd share a poem of my own. It's a published poem, but I liked it so much I thought it was worth revisiting:



unconditional love



You're sandpaper

rubbing away all my flaws

sculpting me into a

better person for Your kingdom

Your ways are not my own,

but You reassure me of promises

that will come true;

You encourage me when i feel

weak, and you make me

strong when i remember to ask for strength �

You grant me provision,

protection, and love

when no one else can afford to;

You are the lion

slaying all my enemies,

the lamb that was slain for my transgressions

Your love knows no bounds

neither do Your mercies or grace �

thank you, Father,

for always showing me the way

even if i sometimes stray

the light always leads me back home to

Your arms

sheltering me from the harshest storms.



As first seen on: Calvary Cross.
