We are no different from Adam and Eve when it comes to our response to our own sin. Like them, we can feel:
- Ashamed
- Disappointed
- Not good enough
These 3 feelings, stirred from our sinful behaviors, are exactly what the Enemy uses to pull us away from relationship with God and into hiding.
Like Adam and Eve, we hide from God when we sin. But even in this tactic used by the Enemy, God did not leave Adam and Eve. Nor does He leave us. He pursued them in the cool of the morning. And just like them, He pursues each of us in the same way through Jesus!
Our sin might cause us to hide; but Jesus came to set us free from the power of Sin over us! His very words are “He who is in Me is greater than he who is in the world.”
God gave us freedom in Jesus. He is our High Priest and when we confess our sin and repent (make a u turn), He hears and intercedes for us!
God is good and nothing is too hard for Him, especially for those who open their hearts to give Him reign over their whole life. To them, God is working all things together for good!
Our relationship with The Lord is kept intimate through transparency in confession and true repentance.
Keep your intimacy with God protected and open!
“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?””
Genesis 3:8-9 NIV
