Get Real
Have you ever noticed how fake we can be towards God
sometimes? How we tend to shy away and
hide when missing the mark instead of being honest and open before Him? I suppose it’s human nature since it started
back in the Garden of Eden, but I’m beginning to wonder why we still waste our
time hiding our short-comings from a God who chooses to view us through His perfect Son. God’s not interested in your shortcomings
that would endeavor to keep you from Him, He’s only interested in you coming to
Him!
When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, what ensued were
some of the saddest words in all of Scripture.
Check out Genesis 3:8-11 “The Message.”
8 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. 9 God called to the Man: “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard you in
the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid.” 11 God said, “Who
told you you were naked? Did you eat from that tree I told you not to eat
from?”
Adam hid because he was ashamed and naked, but God’s
response was, “Who told you that you were naked?” Adam, who told you that you should be
ashamed? Who have you been listening
to? You think God didn’t already know
the answers to what He was asking? You
think He couldn’t have come down right where Adam and Eve were and ask them why
they took the fruit? Of course He could
have! But their free will was in play
and God wanted to give them every opportunity to simply come to Him.
When God made a decision to forgive our past, present, and
future sins, through Jesus; He made the decision for us easy. Get real, keep it real, and always come to
Him. No more hiding, no more being fake,
only open and honest before a Savior who risked it all for us to simply COME TO
HIM. Get real today and tell someone
else to get real, too!
