\"\"<\/h6>\n
In the Garden of Eden where God was betrayed all because his children disobeyed\u2026<\/h6>\n
God created them and loved them and set them as caregivers over His Garden<\/h6>\n
Walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day<\/h6>\n
Watched his creation live, love and play<\/h6>\n
His heart was that of a kind, loving, father in every way\u2026<\/h6>\n
He said, And it was good<\/em><\/h6>\n
Then sin arrived and His children died\u2026<\/h6>\n
Put out of the Garden\u2026God cried\u2026<\/h6>\n
Pain and sorrow beyond belief<\/h6>\n
Lucifer, a cruel thief<\/h6>\n
Thousands of years later, God became a man, to set right what the enemy had stolen from Him\u2026<\/h6>\n
And so, Jesus, God\u2019s son came and once again<\/h6>\n
He suffered in the garden\u2026<\/h6>\n
But this time, life would begin!<\/h6>\n
Kneeling in the garden, three times he prayed<\/h6>\n
Surrendering all, Jesus, obeyed!<\/h6>\n
Jesus died,<\/h6>\n
God cried\u2026<\/h6>\n
No longer bound to sin and death, God arose with a brand-new breath<\/h6>\n
No longer defeated; No more death\u2026<\/h6>\n
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb!<\/h6>\n

Genesis 2:8-24 (NIV)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the <\/em>Lord <\/em>God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the <\/em>Lord <\/em>God among the trees of the garden. 9\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>But the\u00a0<\/em>Lord<\/em>\u00a0God called to the man, \u201cWhere are you?\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
10\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>He answered, \u201cI heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so, I hid.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
11\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And he said, \u201cWho told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
12\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>The man said, \u201cThe woman you put here with me\u2014she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
13\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Then the <\/em>Lord <\/em>God said to the woman, \u201cWhat is this you have done?\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
The woman said, \u201cThe serpent deceived me, and I ate.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
14\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>So the <\/em>Lord <\/em>God said to the serpent, \u201cBecause you have done this,<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cCursed are you above all livestock<\/em>
\nand all wild animals!
\nYou will crawl on your belly
\nand you will eat dust
\nall the days of your life.
\n15\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And I will put enmity
\nbetween you and the woman,
\nand between your offspring[<\/sup><\/em>i<\/sup><\/em><\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0and hers;<\/em>
\nhe will crush[<\/sup><\/em>j<\/sup><\/em><\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0your head,<\/em>
\nand you will strike his heel.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
16\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>To the woman he said,<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cI will make your pains in childbearing very severe;<\/em>
\nwith painful labor you will give birth to children.
\nYour desire will be for your husband,
\nand he will rule over you.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
17\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>To Adam he said, \u201cBecause you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, \u2018You must not eat from it,\u2019<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cCursed\u00a0is the ground\u00a0because of you;<\/em>
\nthrough painful toil\u00a0you will eat food from it
\nall the days of your life.
\n18\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>It will produce thorns and thistles\u00a0for you,
\nand you will eat the plants of the field.
\n19\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>By the sweat of your brow
\nyou will eat your food
\nuntil you return to the ground,
\nsince from it you were taken;
\nfor dust you are
\nand to dust you will return.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
20\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.<\/em><\/h6>\n
21\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>The <\/em>Lord <\/em>God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.<\/em> 22\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And the Lord God said, \u201cThe man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.\u201d 23\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.<\/em><\/h6>\n
