Topic: HARMONY (11/03/22)
The lion and the wolf ate together, and the Lamb lay beside them. It was perfect peace in the Garden of Eden, God was in control of His creation, and the earth operated in harmony with its Creator.

Then God made man, and the heavens declared the glory of God because it was good. And He called them Adam and Eve. The moon, the sun, and the stars moved by order of the Almighty, and all things worked perfectly. God came down from the heavens and fellowshipped with Adam and Eve every evening. There was no evil but love and joy.

On the other hand, Satan was looking on, and his jealousy of God grew. He hated the unity between God and man so much that he sought to break that unity. Eventually, he did by lying to Eve, and Eve believed his lie. Adam listened to her and followed her, and they both rejected the Word of God, and sin entered their hearts, and the whole creation went into chaos. Sin separated them from God, and they no longer had fellowship with Him.

The Almighty vowed that day that he would restore that fellowship, and Jesus came to bring man back to God by His death and resurrection. God desires fellowship with His people as in the garden of Eden.

Jesus prayed in John 17:11, And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
God is restoring His people by redemption through the Blood of Jesus Christ. He is calling out a people from the world--whosoever will may come. And they are His church.

He is coming back for a church without any spot or wrinkle, washed in the blood of the Lamb. And they are one with Him as the Son with the Father.

This is a lovely summary of the reason we need Jesus.

This is a plainly written story with a good hook and good conclusion. However, it is all telling and no showing. To engage the readers' emotions, one must write active verbs, not passive. Then, the story will absolutely pop! Keep writing!
