But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" — Genesis 3:9
Here we have God’s basic question after the fall, and man’s biggest problem. What we bring out into the open before God, God can fix. What we hide in the shadows, festers and infects, and keeps us unclean.
So much of life is God wooing us out of the shadows. Not violating us by dragging us into the light, but gently awakening us to the truth: Jesus is willing; He will touch us and we will be clean.
God knows all the secret corners of our hearts. What we may want so much to hide from Him, He knows about already. Jesus is not here to condemn, but here to restore the sons and daughters of God.
Be encouraged!
