“God saw all that he had made and it
was very good.”
Genesis 2:18 (NIV)
“It is not good for man to be alone.”
Genesis 2:21-24 (NIV)
”So
the LORD God caused the man to fall
into a deep sleep; and while he was
sleeping, he took one of the man’s
ribs[a] and then closed up the place with
flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a
woman from the rib[b] he had taken out of
the man, and he brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:21-24 (NIV)
23 The
man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and
mother and is united to his wife, and they
become one flesh.”

The Bible is God’s Love story to
us. His message to us throughout
scripture is that He loves us; he
always has and he always will. We
cannot keep God from loving us.
HOSEA 4:12B (NIV)
“A spirit of prostitution
leads them astray; they are
unfaithful to their God.”
Doesn’t that sound like us as
a people and a nation?
2 Timothy 2:13
“If we are faithless, he will
remain faithful, for he
cannot disown himself.”
