“We were created to be in a relationship with God and others“ - Wesleyne

Genesis 2:18, NLT

Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

This verse is situated after the creation of Adam and before the creation of Eve. It underscores a fundamental truth about human nature: the intrinsic need for companionship. While the entirety of creation was deemed "good" by God, the solitude of man was the first thing He identified as "not good." This observation led to the creation of Eve, not merely as an afterthought, but as an essential counterpart to Adam, emphasizing the importance of relationships in the human experience. In the modern context, Genesis 2:18 speaks to the universal human longing for connection and partnership. While the immediate context of the verse pertains to the companionship between Adam and Eve, it can be extrapolated to signify the broader theme of human relationships and the significance of community. 

In our journey through life, there will be moments of solitude and feelings of isolation. Yet, this verse reminds us that just as God recognized Adam's need for companionship, He recognizes yours. God is always with you, guiding, comforting, and providing. Even in moments when you feel most alone, the promise of His presence and His provision of relationships in your life serves as a testament to His enduring love and care. The verse encourages you to seek and cherish connections, always remembering that in every step of your journey, God is your constant companion.
