She was not born
She was not created
She was taken
From the man
While he slept
And brought to him
In another form
She is the wife
Of God’s creation
The mother of all living
She was not born
She was not created
She was taken
From the man
While he slept
And brought to him
In another form
She is the wife
Of God’s creation
The mother of all living
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
The Bible is like a woman
Who carries within her
The Word of God
And she brings it to fruition
In due time
Christ will come to us
Through her
She is our salvation
The mother of all living
The living Word of God
Genesis 3:20
“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”
Like a tree bears fruit
A woman bears a child
The Bible bears
The Word of God
The Bible is that tree
Our family tree
And she is that woman
Mother of all living
And the fruit born of her
Is the Word of God
She was not born
She was not created
She was taken
From the man
While he slept
And brought to him
In another form
She is the wife
Of God’s creation
The mother of all living
Art: Formation of Eve by Ed Suominen
And all that God made was good
Except it was not good that man be alone
So God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man
And took from him a rib
And fashioned from that rib a woman
How long did that take
To prepare a wife for his creation
How long was his creation asleep
He slept until the woman
Was brought to him
To be his wife
Then everything was good
It is like Christ and his bride
That which has been prepared for him
A house in which all his children live
The mother of all living
Like a tree bears fruit
A woman bears a child
The Bible bears
The Word of God
The Bible is that tree
Our family tree
And she is that woman
Mother of all living
And the fruit born of her
Is the Word of God
She is the mother
Of all living
But has never been born
She is the source
Of everyone
Who has ever lived
We can all trace our line
Back to our mother
And our father
In the garden
These two are one
She is never without
Her master, her lord,
Her husband
Always by his side
There cannot be
One without the other
So that which has never been born
Has given birth to all living
But she has no life of her own
She takes on the form of all living
The form and the formless
She and her husband
Genesis 2:18
“…It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.”
