Glory of Falling

In a world untouched by the decay of sin

Freedom would exist without fear

Power would be shared without division


The beauty of rainbows comes from rain

The power of love comes from choosing


In a world where no one fell to temptation

Healing would have no brokenness

Redemption would have no sin for which to atone


The contrast of sour increases the sweet

The depths of pain highlight the peaks of joy


In a world unchanged by human mistakes

There would be no sweet because there was no sour

There would be no joy because there was no pain

There would be no rainbows because there was no rain

There would be no love because there was no choice

  1. Did you write this, or is it a passage from someone else. Whatever . . . interesting thoughts. Was there no joy in the Garden before the first couple sinned? Or was there not enough joy?
