I’ve been thinking a lot about the original garden sin this first week of Lent…the spiraling separation, the unraveling that one act of disobedience caused and continues to do so. “Where are you?” states Creator God. Of course, He knew their hiding place; His question surely had a purpose. I think He was pursuing them, drawing them out, fear, shame and all. He has always pursued us!
This next week, I’m contemplating this same question: Where are you, Robin? Is there anything I’m not bringing before Him; what pulls me away from the intimacy He so desires; do I stop long enough for my Abba to gather me up in his love, his grace, his plan for my life?
