An open heart: where are you?.

i've been doing a lot of thinking about different passages of the bible, really trying to grasp what God is trying to reveal about who he is, what he's trying to teach us about his word, i know everyone gets something different out of the bible. and i'm no scholar, that is for sure, i tend to find the simple truths, maybe truths that some understood when they were 5. i'm finding new meanings, new truths to wear i'm at right now, but maybe by posting these things, i can speak to some one else about who God is too, i've always carried a heart for others, sometimes i carry it to heavily, but non the less, i care, i want others and myself to understand God for who he is, loving, never leaving, a God who believes in us, let me say that again, a God who believes in us, yes he wants us to believe in him, but he also would have to believe in us, to give us all those second chances, to send his son to die for us, to let us do his work, to use us...just think about it, God believes in us, he believes were good, he believes we can be what he created us to be, we have the greatest cheerleader on our side.

i was thinking about when Adam and Eve sinned, after they made clothing out of fig leaves, after they hid, and God asked "where are you?" all my life i wondered why God asked where they were? i mean he's God didn't he already know, didn't he already know this was going to happen, doesn't he know where we all are? i understand that something happened, separation from God to man, that the connection they once has was lost at this point, and not only did Adam and Eve feel it, but God did to, but couldn't he see where they were at? why did he have to ask? the simpleness that it is, is they had to say, to confess where they were at, to understand what they did, for God to make it right. this was the first confessing of sins, i don't know why i'm just getting this now, but the only thing i know, is today i hear God asking me

Where are you?
