What God Lost



 “I want to be your companion just like in the garden, so if you’re searching for Eden, find it in Me.”

The above chorus is from a Misty Edwards song (the title of which I can’t remember or find). In EGS* tonight, this was the last song the team did. The last time we sang the chorus, Misty, who was leading, said something so simple and yet so profound: Sing it back to Him.

It’s so easy look at the Garden of Eden and see everything mankind lost, but when we focus on what we lost, we miss a major point. God lost something too. He lost the desire of His heart.

So I sang it back to Him, and as I sang it, I prayed in in my heart. “I want to be Your companion just like in the garden, so if You’re searching for Eden, find it in me. Find in me a heart that longs to fellowship with You. Find in me a beloved who loves You. Find in me a resting place. Find in my a heart that longs to worship You. Walk with me. Spend time with me. Let me be the one with whom You talk, with whom You share the secrets of Your heart.”

Open yourself up to Him, and as He gives you what you lost when mankind fell, give Him back what He lost. You will both be delighted you did.
