God places us in the Garden of Eden and gives us every good thing.
Water, light, truth, love and beauty. Herbs for healing, sweet fruits in every season and a wall of protection surrounding us.
Why do we choose to have the knowledge of good and evil, when we could choose to know only good?
We trust in our limited knowledge and wisdom and rebel against his perfect wisdom and will.
Even in our rebellion, God is a faithful Father who shows us the way. He gives us his word.
His word guides us and teaches us truth and light, love and beauty, all good things.
The Garden of Eden is not some far away, mythical place, it is real and very near, God has written the plan in our hearts.
O' that we would listen to his voice, seek only good, then he would lead us back to the garden and to peace. For his lovingkindness and mercy are everlasting.
