My Husband's Helpmeet

In His creative process, we see only one instance when God said that something wasn’t good. God said that it was not good for Adam to be alone. So, He created a helper suitable for him. This helper would complement Adam and be his counterpart in every way. Out of the place that protected Adams heart, his rib, God created Eve. She would come alongside Adam to fulfill the purpose for which God had created man. She was to love, support and respect Adam as, together, they carried out God’s purposes here on earth. 

I have learned that being a helper to my husband means that I must first understand who I am and the role that I play in his life. When I align myself under the authority which God has established, I can then, without reservation, resentment or regret, carry out and be fulfilled as his helper. Because I realize my worth and value, as his helper I can help him to be and do all that God has purposed for him and our family. As my husband’s helper I have learned to use all that God has entrusted in me, my gifts, talents and skills to enhance my husband, my home and my family. My husband knows that I will always have his back. I am his greatest fan and biggest cheerleader! Therefore, his heart can safely trust in me because I will always have his best interest at heart. I strive to be a safe haven where he can come and find peace and rest and not criticism and instead of always complaining about what he is not, pray for him where he is weak and praise him in his strengths. As his helper, I understand that when I come alongside him and walk in oneness with him in all that God has called us to, we proclaim God’s truth to the world. We give the world a picture of God’s love.
