"Who Told You You Were Naked?"
" When they heard the sound of God strolling in the garden in the evening breeze, the Man and his Wife hid in the trees of the garden, hid from God. God called to the Man: “Where are you?” He said, “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid.” God said, “Who told you you were naked? Did you eat from that tree I told you not to eat from?” (Genesis 3:9-11) Back to the Garden ... Recently I was brought back to the Garden. This scene of two humans who had messed up big time. They tried to hide their sin--their mistake--their brokenness. They covered it up out of fear and shame, maybe even guilt.They saw themselves as they really were and hid. The God who knew them so intimately came to to them in this state and just asked that big question: “Who told you you were naked?" Whose Voice have you been listening to? We as humans were created to live in unhindered, uncovered relationship with God just like in the Garden
