The Eden Project

How would you do
if you had to face the same test as Adam and Eve?
If you were put in a garden and you had to obey
just
one
law?
Do you find yourself thinking
I would never have taken the fruit?
How did you do when you were last faced
with a temptation?
Did you run into the safety of God's arms
or
did you listen to the tempter?
How long would you have lasted
in the Garden of Eden?
How long would any of us have lasted?

We cannot go back to undo what has been done.
We can be thankful for God's answer.
Jesus
the cross
an invitation to receive
forgiveness for our sins
and the renewed opportunity
to walk again with the Lord
in the cool of the day.
