Is it not also interesting to note that pride preceded the fall of the annointed Cherub with one third of the angels who left their first estate?
...which led to the fall of man in Eden?
Everything we have seen, are seeing now, amd will see, has its cause in pride and fall. Love, falling in, is surrendering one’s heart, that should Belong to the Lord first... here having learned the hard way.
Greetings, @globocop! How lovely to hear from you.
Thanks for your visit.
In some senses, I think that "fall" is an unfortunate term. I think that "falling in love" is really God's design as expressed so well in the Song of Songs.
As always, the trouble comes in that Adam has already fallen, sadly following in the footsteps of Lucifer.
But it is the redemption of love that we wait for with longing, the story of Ruth and Boaz, the mutual rescue of Abigail by David and David by Abigail, the unmitigated joy of bride and bridegroom.
We await both the restoration of Jacob and Rachael as well as the the reconciliation of Leah and blind Jacob. We are waiting for the elimination of these four things.
For all who have surrendered our hearts to the LORD, he in turn promises to give us our hearts' desires.
I hope your new life in Panama is experiencing blessing. :D
😄😇😄
