Genesis 3:6-7 (NIV)
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
They saw before their eyes were opened, or so they thought. What seemed good, pleasing, and desirable led to that which is none of those things. Only when we realize our distance from God can we hope to get back. Like the son who left long ago, it is when we come to our senses, to ourselves, that we are able to go back to the Father.
