Adam returned his gaze to the cross. The Jesus was hurting. Guilt simmered and then boiled in him. Jesus had a whole world of suffering and horror to worry about and here Adam was in all his punk puniness. He didn't want to add to Jesus's burdens, but..' Sorry about that. Look, I know you're busy and I don't want to get greedy with your time, but still, if you could just help me.. If you could find a minute, please, please, please, dear sweet Jesus, fix me. . Teresa Toten
About This Quote

When God saw Adam he was a man of a very small size. He was a tiny little creature with a short neck, a small body and reduced limbs. God made him in his own image and likeness. It is true that Adam was not perfect, however unless he had been perfect, God would not have created him.

God has given Adam the capacity to grow and develop as he matures into a more perfect being. In this passage, Adam is pleading with God to keep him from becoming even more unworthy than he already was because even though he may be small in stature, he has the capacity to become big in soul.
