"Being the source of goodness, God, even after our failures, calls us anew,
not effacing entirely from our mind the knowledge of good, even if we have
turned away from virtue through sin. This is what God, at present, also
does for Adam in calling him although he has hidden himself, saying to
him'Adam, where art thou?' Adam, in fact, had been placed there by God for
the purpose of working and guarding Paradise; he had received this place
from Him to be his own. Having distanced himself from there by
disobedience, it is proper that he should hear from God'Where art thou?'"
St. Didymus the Blind.
"Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the
King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory." Psalm 24:9-10
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
