~~~ Feast of the Immaculate Conception ~~~
~~~Genesis 3:9-15, 20~~~Psalm 98~~~Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12~~~
~~~ Luke 1:26-38~~~
He asks the question
"Where are you?"
hoping that you will come forward and come to him yourself.
God has given us everything that we could
imagine to ask him for
including every spiritual blessing.
He chose us to be holy without flaws,
but our pride gets us into trouble.
It is pride that causes us to eat from the forbidden tree.
Once we have eaten the fruit we discover how silly it was for us
to think that what we wanted was more important than
what God desires for us.
Only nakedness before God can heal the soul
from the torment of pride.
In order to come out of hiding we must strip ourselves of pride
and stand before God as he created us to be in the Garden of Eden.

Wherever you are hiding; come back into the garden.
