Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
Genesis 3:7
As a result of sin, Adam and Eve are no longer comfortable in their own skin. After eating the fruit and breaking God’s only command, their eyes were opened to their nakedness. This means their eyes were opened to their own vulnerability and human frailty. Before disobeying God, Adam and Eve had God’s protection around them, but once they eat the fruit that clothing of divine protection leaves them.
Since Adam and Eve, people have hidden themselves from others because they are not secure in themselves. You may have neighbors act rude or standoffish because they are just not comfortable with themselves. Without a relationship with Christ, they will never be comfortable with themselves.
Pray for a neighbor you suspect is lonely because he or she is not comfortable in their own skin. Pray for God’s healing for that person.
