Father You are too holy and great to allow sin to dwell with You. If You were to mingle with darkness, how then could we know what is light? Since you are the absence of evil, selfishness, hate, and sin these things must all be absent from Your presence. So with the first sin Lord You cast us from Your garden removing us from the tree of life. You gave us many chances to follow Your decrees and seek You with all our hearts and century after century we failed You. You knew we could never earn our way back but You also knew that we needed to see it for ourselves. With every opportunity to focus our hearts on You exhausted, You sent Your Son. Jesus showed us how to live by His example. He taught what it meant to have a heart after Yours. That life was not focused on atonement for sin but about seeking You and allowing You to do good works through us. Only by the perfect atoning blood of Christ could we be made clean for You. And only by this could we receive Your Holy Spirit. Father let us never forget that You have had a heart for all people since before the beginning of time. That none of these events happened by accident but rather by Your divine guidance as this was the only way we could ever make it back to You. The serpent got us kicked out of the garden but he has no power to keep us out.
for You are mighty to save
