Just BECAUSE: " I was afraid/ashamed"

GENESIS 3:9-10⁹ God called to the Man: "Where are you?"  ¹⁰ He said, "I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid."

SO many of us know the story....God said don't eat of a particular tree, and Eve presented Adam fruit from that very tree, ADAM chose to eat the fruit of that tree, and once he had eaten, consumed, enjoyed the taste of the fruit....knew!  Knew that what he had done was wrong.   

Nothing has really changed....God surely hasn't....we have THE TEN and we have people openly murdering people ( verbally as well as physically), people stealing from the government, Him, or each other.    Kid's not honoring their parents, probably because the parents aren't honoring THEM or GOD. But GOD hasn't changed.   There are people looking at their neighbor's cars, homes, wives, or even lives and lustfully living alongside them.  People still are working 7 days a week, not taking the sabbath serious...while they are paying the price for such living.  We don't even LOVE GOD, for real.....if you protest that you really do, all one has to do is see how you treat the person who works your nerves the most.   BUT while we haven't changed much, GOD HASN'T CHANGED at all........He sought Adam out in this excerpt, and He is seeking you too, his child out.   

He knows what you did, or didn't do according to HIS WILL/WORD, but He still desires fellowship/relationship with you, His child. Will you come out of hiding?  Will you attend a growth group (small group), church service, Bible Study, even kneel down to pray and hear HIS forgiveness towards you?  The reason why your neighbors don't come out, or church attendance is down, or families are distant from one another is because they're afraid of rejection, and ashamed of what they've done.   Let us forgive as HE forgives....and call people out of their fears!  LGLP
