CONSEQUENCES
Genesis 3:8-13 Turning the positive into a negative and back.
It started off so great, but after life entered in, it diminished and changed. Much like a job, a marriage, or having a child, life intrudes in directions we may have never thought of, or planned for. Here, God started the deal off with "Perfect." Everything was great until...And this is the ongoing issue today. There is one who always is against God's best for us.
God cares enough for us that He gave us choice. I can love regardless, leave a job with sadness, while knowing there's something better, or continuing to love my kid even though they are in jail for selling drugs or whatever. We may not change the circumstances, but we can diminish the consequences of ours or another's decisions to not do life God's way.

How do you learn that intimacy and connection are part of the fabric of a meaningful life?
