In the beginning the glory of God covered man and woman. They freely walked around the garden clothed in the garments of His love and fellowship until the day that Satan broke the mirror and caused them to see something other than the image they were created in - God's image. When they saw each other they saw the image of love because God is love. The banner over them was love. Songs of Solomon 2:4 Nothing could be more attractive than God's image. Yet in an instance that image was broken and it gave way to another image. The image of shame, sin, and separation from love itself . Not only did they hide themselves from God but from each other. The transparency of relationship could no longer be enjoyed because they could no longer see God's image. They could only see each other...the fallen image.

Made In The Image of Love
In the beginning the glory of God covered man and woman. They freely walked around the garden clothed in the garments of His love and fellowship until the day that Satan broke the mirror and caused them to see something other than the image they were created in - God's image. When they saw each other they saw the image of love because God is love. The banner over them was love. Songs of Solomon 2:4 Nothing could be more attractive than God's image. Yet in an instance that image was broken and it gave way to another image. The image of shame, sin, and separation from love itself . Not only did they hide themselves from God but from each other. The transparency of relationship could no longer be enjoyed because they could no longer see God's image. They could only see each other...the fallen image.
