The gate once open, slowly closed that day

Number 13 in an ongoing series

Visiting the garden, God called Adam, but there was silence,
and then calling again Adam answered “We were afraid and
we hid.”
Did God cry when He searched for His children, just as we
do, when we come home to the silence of a child missing,
snatched away by the enemy, never to return? Does He
understand the anguish we feel? As a Father does He miss
His children as we also?
Angels were sent to close the gates that day, and Adam and
Eve were sent away, but never would God leave them, just as
He never leaves our children who are missing, they will all be
restored to that beautiful garden one day…
