Time Began In A Garden

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the first time since my hip replacement surgery 4 weeks ago I was able to do some planting in my garden today even if it was only in a pot. I am beginning to find “me” again for it is while  working in my garden I meet with my heavenly Papa as He speaks Kingdom parables to my heart. I have found that the best place to meet with Him is in my garden for after all Time Began In A Garden!

Genesis 3:8-9 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

I share many of these parables in my book “DEVELOPING A SECRET HISTORY WITH GOD”

Today’s Food for Thought::


The happiest people may not have the best of everything BUT they make the best of everything!

My Audience of One

On a sunny day in June, I was sitting in my garden of prayer, where I daily converse with the Lord. I admit I had a discouraged heart that morning, and found myself wondering if all my hours of labor on my website was invain, not knowing if it was bringing life to others. God used this moment to speak this word of exhortation to my heart.

Dear Child,

Listen to the birds, look at the beauty of the roses! The birds sing unto Me regardless if man appreciates them or applauds them! The roses bloom and scent the air, regardless if man appreciates them or applauds them! They fulfill the purpose of their creation, regardless of appreciation or applause from man.

They bring glory to My Name, by naturally without reasoning or questioning, doing that which, I, the Creator planned for them. They do it just to bring Me joy!

Child, may your life continue to blossom,

May your life continue to give fragrance,

Regardless of appreciation or applause from man!

The birds don’t reason, nobody is appreciating my song, so I won’t sing today!

Nor do the roses reason, nobody is admiring me today, so I will stop blooming and giving fragrance!

Child, do not reason or question, simply sing, bloom and gave fragrance through your writing just for Me!

                                                           Thus saith Papa                  

Cor. 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Rev. 4:11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

CHALLENGE: May this word of exhortation encourage your heart as it did mine, and remind you of “Your Audience of One” who sees and knows all your labor of love.

P.S. Mothers, this challenge is especially for you, for all the unnoticed, often not appreciated mundane things you do everyday.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Do You Only Turn To God When All Else Fails?

THE DIFFERENCE by Alan Grant
I had so much to accomplish that I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me, and heavier came each task.
Why doesn’t God help me? I wondered
He answered, “You didn’t ask.
I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak,
I wondered why God didn’t show me
He said, “But you didn’t seek.”
I tried to come into God’s presence, I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided “My child you didn’t knock.”
I woke up early this morning, and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

A Change Of Heart

Gen.1:31 And God saw everything that He had made and behold it was very good.

Although the environment and provision in the Garden of Eden was the very best yet sin still entered.Therefore we know by this that improving man’s environment will NOT change man’s heart. Only a personal encounter with God can change the heart.

 

Ezk 11:19-20 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them:
