The Garden

and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:8

Once a place of joy and fellowship with God, the garden had become a place of fear and of hiding from God.

When I sin, the tempting thing to do is hide from God. I strive, in my shame and in my own strength to be who He would want me to be, but I fail because I can't do it without him. It is only through repentance that I can be returned to the original joy and fellowship we had.

Thank You, Lord, for the restoration of our relationship. There is no one else like You. Please continue to bless me and cover me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
