WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED? Adam Where Are You? Genesis 3

THERE’S NOTHING WORSE FOR A LIAR THAN TO BE INTERROGATED

Those who love the truth, other people, and humility, expose their shame to be covered by mercy, forgiveness and grace. We’ve all seen this tap-dancing and have performed a few moves of our own.Do you remember the look on someone’s face who knows you are lying?

(The narcissist has no empathy, and no sense of shame which causes you to surrender to truth. So, they never see the other person’s face–they don’t care. The only pain being protected is their own.) What did Adam become? God knew where he was, but did Adam know?

Listen to the interrogation. With each question Adam drifts further away from God. In fact, this is the last we will here of his relationship with God.

The narcissistic personality type, always asks: “why all the questions? You don’t trust me?”  From his or her perspective, the only stake in the relationship is theirs. They are the only one with something to lose. What’s yours is theirs, and what’s theirs is theirs. They think to themselves, why are you acting as though you are entitled to anything in this relationship? You are here to serve me.

Adam, where are you? WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED AND NEED TO HIDE? Did you eat of the fruit I told you was off limits in our relationship?

Just a few insights and considerations in this drama.
