Being God, I know why you would want to run from me. Adam and Eve both tried to hide from me when they heard me approaching. You see me as this...well...this...God who has all these rules. And you don't like my rules because if you followed them, you think you wouldn't have any fun. So you avoid me at all costs. You don't want to talk about me. Hear about me. You just want to hide from me. But what you don't see is how much I love you and that I want only the best for you. And there are times when you know in your heart that I don't approve of what you're doing (that conscience thing...that's Me!). It's not because I don't want you to have any fun. It is because I know that the things you are chasing after will never make you truly happy. They'll only hurt you and others.  You see, I know everything before it happens. I'm OMNISCIENT. That means I know everything before it even happens. I want to spare you the pain I see up ahead. You have to trust me on this one. You have to have FAITH that I only want to protect you. Don't run from Me. Run to me and experience true LIFE, LOVE and JOY.

Where could I go to escape from you?  Where could I get away from your presence?  If I went up to heaven, you would be there;  if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there.  If I flew away beyond the east or lived in the farthest place in the west, you would be there to lead me, you would be there to help me.  I could ask the darkness to hide me or the light around me to turn into night, but even darkness is not dark for you, and the night is as bright as the day.  Darkness and light are the same to you.  You created every part of me;  you put me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because you are to be feared;  all you do is strange and wonderful.  I know it with all my heart.  When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there-  you saw me before I was born.  The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began. -  O.T. Psalm 139 7-16
