This scripture will only come into true completeness in our lives when we begin and continue to develop our own personal relationships with the Lord.  It is and always has been his desire for us to come back into a relationship with him as it was in the Garden of Eden.  In this place man developed their relationship with Father God the same way we developed our relationship with our parents. In this closeness they both learned who God was and is and his love and care for us his creation.  He also gave us charge to care for his other earthly creations so that we would better understand him as an example of his love and care for us.  Religion may get you in the church building and introduce you to the Lover of your soul and play a critical role in your salvation.  However, it is your personal relationship of discovery and learning of who he is and how much he adores and loves you that will become contagious and long lasting in your life.  Because He first loved us, we through building our connection began to Believe in him, Trust him, Rest in him, Hope in him, receive of him, and most of all began to Love Jesus our Good Shepeard. St. John Chapter 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
