The Garden of Eden

In this Garden, Eve took on the omnipotent 
knowing she lacks power to eat the forbidden fruit.

Her bite was great, as she tasted the fruit that
she offers to Adam, to do the same.

God told Adam to take his woman
out of his Garden.

Eden was unhappy this day.
God dominion was now forbidden.

Adam had bitten from the fruit as well.
Therefore, Adam was damned to a life of labor.

Ascribed to man, Eve was to be
the child bearer.

Life that you form man
must be supported.

Adam worked hard to raise Cain 
and Abel.

This is guidance given.
This is meaningful to your living.

Man does not support his child life in the world
but states he is religious.

He hides from his obligations
or he does not work.

Therefore, a systematic problem evolves,
juvenile crime because of the lack of financial support.

God told Adam to take his woman out of his Garden.
He must work to take care of her and his babies.

He told him… “Adam your Garden must be your core.
This is your resting place; therefore, you will know the way of man.”

In the words of the Almighty, man must form his Garden 
through holistic measures.

God told Adam to take care of home
since he loved his woman more than his core.

And, when Eve bares Adam’s children,
make sure he provides meaningful support.

Adam did.
Man today must.

This is the way to meaningful existence
and a holistic world.

Man is the strength.
Woman is the moral support.

It is true all our problems sprung from the roots of that forbidden tree. Fortunately Jesus has provided a pathway back to the Garden which we will one day enjoy. Living springs of water and healing fruit and his light will be all we require.

Woman is the driver. Man is the wheel or is it vice versa? Just kidding! Great insight, Verlena :)
