And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
Genesis 2:18 - 20
Dear Wife, you have value! Can I just remind you of that? I know. You have been through a lot. You have been hurt and offended. I know you have had to live through things that would have scarred others for life, but none of that defines you. You have value. You bring something to the table. You have amazing worth, and God knew that you were just what your husband needed.
In the account of creation, we find that God created the heavens, the earth, creeping and crawling things, animals and the like, and after each creation He said, "it is good". Yet, after He created man He said "it is not good that man should be alone". God knew that man needed someone comparable to him to accomplish all that God has set forth for him to do. He needed you. That doesn't make you an accent or accessory. It makes you needed and valuable. See, you are a gift. The bible says that after He created woman from man God presented her to Adam (verse 22). He gave Eve to Adam as a gift - something that would add value and worth to His life. That's what gifts do, right?
You were designed to add value to your husband's life. That means you must have value. You bring something to the table, sweetheart! The question is what do you bring to the table? Do you bring joy and kindness to the table? Do you bring love and mercy to the table? Do you bring wisdom and strength to the table? What are you adding to the marriage that God has given you?
The anointing that God has given you is not just for church services! He wants to use your prophetic gift to grace your home! He wants to use your ability to lay hands on the sick to bring healing to your house! He wants to use the eloquence of your preaching to minister grace to your family!! Don't you dare just reserve those gifts for church services! You have the amazing ability to bring peace to confusion, orchestrate and manage the affairs of the home, ensure that schedules are in sync, and so much more! One word from a wife can create calm or chaos. You have the ability to influence your husband for good or for evil! What are you doing with that influence? Eve was designed to be a blessing, but she let her curiosity and the craftiness of the enemy to cause her to bring a curse. That can not be our story! Choose today to add value to your marriage. Refuse to be the nagging, critical wife that the world may expect. Choose instead to love your husband and be the gift that God ordained you to be!
Proverbs 12:4 says that an excellent wife is a crown! Crowns are full of jewels and precious metals that signify their worth! Be a crown and add value!
Blessings!
