“Yet as my friend and fellow therapist Chuck DeGroat points out, God still turned toward them[24] when He asked Adam a vital question: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). In a sense, Adam and Eve had tried to disconnect from God’s love, but God’s love didn’t disconnect from them. God came for them, even in their sin. Chuck writes, “God makes an incarnational move. God moves toward them, searches them out, and when God finds them they are clothed by the Divine Seamstress. God’s movement toward them signifies an indelible message—I am your God. I will be with you. I will not abandon you.”[25]”

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
