Theme: "Finding God in the Midst of Our Brokenness"
Scripture Reference: Genesis 3:9 (NIV)
"But the Lord God called to the man, 'Where are you?'"
Points:
1️⃣ The Divine Pursuit: Despite our brokenness, God seeks us out. In Genesis 3:9, we witness God's relentless pursuit of Adam and Eve after they sinned. This reveals God's unending love and desire to restore fellowship with His creation.
2️⃣ Our Hiding Places: Just as Adam and Eve hid from God, we often hide our brokenness, shame, and sin. We may try to cover up our mistakes, but God sees through our façade. He calls out to us, not to condemn, but to offer forgiveness, healing, and restoration.
3️⃣ The Invitation to Vulnerability: God's question, "Where are you?" invites us to be vulnerable and honest with Him. He already knows our hearts, but He longs for us to open up and acknowledge our need for Him. It is in vulnerability that we find true healing and transformation.
4️⃣ Embracing God's Grace: Rather than running away, let us respond to God's call with humility and repentance. Just as Adam and Eve received God's grace, we too can experience His forgiveness and restoration. God's grace is greater than our brokenness, and it is through His grace that we find hope and redemption.
