No Shame

Perfect God creates perfect man and woman.
Perfect man lives in perfect love with God and woman.
Perfect....nothing short of perfect.
Nothing to hide...nothing to fear,
yet.
Adam and Eve lived enthralled by each other and by God;
Wrapped in blissful self-unawareness,
innocent
known
loved and loving
secure
and
vulnerable.
Perfect vulnerability.
Perfect love cannot exist outside of vulnerability.
Can we say God is vulnerable?
IF we believe God is triune...yes, He is vulnerable.
Because He exists as a trinity, a loving fellowship of three. I believe the Father, Son and Holy Spirit share a mutual vulnerability to each other. They are fully known and fully affected by each other...but they live in perfect love,
a perfectly secure community.
Adam and Eve were made to reflect God in every way. Adam and Eve were vulnerable;
and while they lived within the covering of His love, they felt completely secure.
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear..." 1 John 4:18a

"The man and His wife were both naked, and they felt no shame." Genesis 2:25

Perfect love casts out fear.
