But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, ‘Where are you?’ Genesis 3:9
So, I’m going to be honest with all of you. I have separation anxiety (along with abandonment issues, but more on that later). I’m not to fond of the idea of someone I know, love, and trust leaving me, even if its for a short period of time. This has happened quite a bit within the last few months, but even more so throughout my life. I’m working on it. But I want to bring up the concept of God having separation anxiety.
Now, you may be thinking that I have jumped off the deep end with this, but hear me out. I am thoroughly aware that God does not have needs, that He is thoroughly complete with Himself, He doesn’t need us.
So, how can He have separation anxiety? Take a look at the verse again. Even better idea! Check out Genesis 3. The fall of man. The moment we sinned, we were separated from God. The beautiful, harmonious relationship between God and man was severed. This form of separation is the worst that anyone will ever feel. God does not want to have our sin separating us from Him for all of eternity.
What are we doing to mend this relationship? Are we even trying at all? I encourage you to dedicate your life to God (if you have not already) and mend the relationship, but it’s not possible on your own. God works on us the moment we dedicate and start our relationship with Him. He brings trials into our lives, that draws us closer to Him (more on this soon!).
