Parashat B’reisheet
God created everything not from need, but from His desire to share overflowing love with humanity made in His image. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve shifted from following God’s word to pursuing their own desires, leading to broken relationships and exile. However, this pattern of exile always points toward restoration. Through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, we can overcome sinful passions and partner with God in His purposes. The key question becomes: Will we ask what we want, or what God wants? We’re called to rule over our desires according to God’s word rather than be ruled by them, moving from separation toward alignment with His will.
