"Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Indeed, has God said, "you shall not eat from any tree of the garden?"'" And the story goes on. Adam and Eve had no idea what they would lose. God would come to them and say, "what is this you have done?"....and they would realize that they had thrown away everything good, and hopeful, and beautiful.
I painted that loss. Everything became dark and dismal. And God became distant. I love the hope that God speaks, though:
"You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13) Because of the blood of Jesus, God doesn't stay distant.
