Eve Mother of All Living
Eve The Mother of all Living
(Moses 3:15-5:12; Genesis chapters 1-5)
(Moses 3:15-5:12; Genesis chapters 1-5)
There is so much that we can learn from Eve. She was the first woman on the Earth. Her example and teachings still live on today because she taught her daughters that carried on the knowledge she taught them. I couldn't even imagine the responsibility that our first mother had to be a teacher to all generations of laying down the groundwork laying upon her shoulders. There are thoughts that might have crossed her mind from the beginning!
Eve might have had at times the question crossing her mind why was I chosen for this task to bring forth and be created to bring forth our family? Why does this work seem like such a challenge to me? Maybe she even asked herself why did I partake of the fruit? I could still be by God in his home. The strength and courage she had to go out in a world unknown and take on a world of trials that came to her. The the things she saw and would've experienced with herself, husband, even with her children, to grandchildren and all the generations she was alive for. Is it possible she could have been seen praying for them? As a mother concerned about all those generations welfare and ours trying to teach them all about God. Even if she there might have been times she missed the garden and trials hard; she found joy and was grateful for the experiences she gained from her choices. She gained a knowledge to God's forgiveness, mercy, and to know her father's (God) love for her.
Gordan B. Hinckley said in his talk Daughters of God 1999 "As his final creation, the crowning of his glorious work, [ our Heavenly Father] created woman. I like to regard Eve as his masterpiece after all that gone before, the final work before He rested of his labors." If we think like Gordan B. Hinckley about ourself being a masterpiece would you look differently about yourself?
