Many times I have tried to figure out just what Adam and Eve's sin was. Was it pride? Was it disobedience? Satan told them they would be like God if they ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, was he lying? Since God knows all about good and evil but before eating Adam and Eve only knew good did they not become 'like God' in their knowledge? Just a thought! Anyway, what if their sin was that they wanted to be their own God? If we have inherited that sin from them what does that look like? I do love babies but think about it, who is more self centered? They want to be fed, changed, held, rocked, sung to and even left alone without regard to anyone else. Do we not grow up thinking we are in charge of our life? We feel the importance of the decisions about our lives. There was a point in time for me when I realized life is not about me! (hateful moment really!) It's not just that Jesus gave up Heaven for a time to live on earth among humans, He actually became human. It's not just that He suffered the death I deserve for choosing me over God. He suffered the hate of His Father, the One He loves more than anything else. And because He did all that I can know Him and His Father and the Holy Spirit. Shouldn't life be about telling others what God has done for me, not what I have accomplished? I have not accomplished anything that He did not give me the ability to do. Everything I am is because of the One who knit me together in my mother's womb. He designed me to glorify Him. That is one reason I am writing this blog. Others need to hear Who God is. He is Creator, Father, Savior, Comforter, Teacher, the love of my life, my all in all. Praise His Holy Name.
