Dear God,
I don't understand why me and Abel have to pay for Mom and Dad's
mistakes. I mean, they told us all about how it was before that wretched day
when they disobeyed You. And we can see for ourselves how different it is now.
They said that You used to spend time "walking in the garden in the cool
of the day" with them (Gen 3:19). They can't tell us how You made
everything, since you made it all before them, but they tell us that they never
used to have to wear shoes. I hate shoes! Why can't I have a chance to live in
the Garden of Eden too where there were no thorns (Gen 3:18)!
Mom says I shouldn't hate. She says I have an anger problem and need to
think before I act, but I don't have to listen to her, because she hates
snakes. And if she can hate snakes then I can hate shoes.
Oh, and Dad said that they never had to plant stuff when they lived
there. Everything just grew on its own. Now I have to get up early every
morning and go plant, water, weed, harvest...(Gen 3:19) I like seeing things
grow, but it is so much work! It's so unfair. I wish it could all be perfect
again. Dad says You are perfect and we should be amazed, but I wonder if You
changed too when they left the garden?
Very Confused, Cain
