His Complement

Genesis 2:20 HCSB

20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for the man no helper was found as his complement.

Complement is translated from the Hebrew word below. It took what man did not have to be complete, for he is not complete in of himself. It is why men and women are different, yet so drawn to one another. 

It also serves as a parable that teaches us about our need for God. We are not complete until we find Him. 

The church is given life, taken from the body of Christ, and is one in Spirit.
