Helpmate or Hurt Mate

SO LET’S say you’ve got a parked car in front of you. You are trying to go somewhere. You are at a stoplight, and the car in front of you is stuck, not going anywhere. You have somewhere to go so you are getting ticked off at this parked car.

You are so irritated that you may start fussing, and cussing, and complaining, and winding your window down, and doing all this kind of stuff, because this car is parked in front of you, and it’s getting on your nerves. Now, having gone through all that, you still won’t be able to get that car to move. You know what that car needs? That car needs somebody to come and assist it with its movement.

I think the biblical word for this is “helpmate.” Guess what the job of a helpmate is … to help. Far too many of our ladies today, instead of being helpmates, are hurt mates, because they do what everyone else is doing to their man, putting him down, criticizing him, complaining about him, or emasculating him. The very thing many ladies are after, they are themselves destroying.
