Come Out of Hiding

Shame has been telling her story since the garden. She kills our beholding, destroys our belonging, and drives us into hiding. But she does not get the last word.

In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve covered themselves with fig leaves -- inadequate, temporary, desperate. Sound familiar? We do the same thing. But God did not come into the garden to condemn them. He came asking, "Where are you?" -- an invitation to stop hiding and be seen.
