Where It All Began

Genesis 4:25 Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.

Why did they feel no shame? They had not yet sinned. They had not yet acted in opposition to Me. They walked with Me daily, in their nakedness, and felt no shame, no inhibitions. They had not yet been shown that they were separate from Me because they had not yet done anything to separate themselves from Me. They were not afraid of Me, they were not timid around Me, they were natural and knew they were valid and loved and perfect in their creation. It was once they disobeyed, once they strayed from My command – once they chose to listen to their enemy and follow him instead of Me – that is when they knew shame and fear and needed to hide their nakedness – their essence. They tainted their perfection and there was no going back. That was the real loss of the first sin in the garden. That was the first step toward where you find your world today. That is where it all began and you are now living in the aftermath. But, though you cannot undo that original sin, though you cannot undo the millennia of sins that have piled up on top of it, you can control how far you are from Me. You can control the amount of shame you feel on a daily basis. Just keep close to Me. Follow Me. Obey Me. And when you stray, admit it quickly and get back by My side. That is where I want you. That is where I’ve always wanted My children to be. Right by My side, walking in harmony with Me, no shame, no inhibitions, just oneness.
