We Can Cover Ourselves and Still Feel Naked

Adam had already covered himself with fig leaves when he told God he was afraid because he was naked. His covering hadn’t taken away his sense of exposure.

This short reflection explores how strength, capability and independence can sometimes cover places where we still feel afraid. When that fear surfaces, it may reveal a tender place we hadn’t recognised, somewhere the Lord is making His presence known and inviting us to know His care.

Scripture references: Genesis 3:7-10.
