So this is love!

I am coming into the Center of my Garden to meet with my Lord. As I walk I am preparing myself. I want to be ready to hear and see and still enough to just be with him. Then I am preparing for the Master Gardener’s instructions for the day. As I enter I bow, “Lord I yield to you today.” I pause a moment with head bowed. “Peace to you my child,” he says. I receive it and look up. “Let us drink of love this morning.” “Yes Lord.” I sing the last line of a song from my childhood, “So this is love!” And indeed it is! Jesus is the love of my life. He is the one who came and found me at 5. He has been the one overseeing the growth in me. I was never really alone through my own faltering or others. When all was lost he made a way. He heals the damage inflicted on us by this world. He never intends to leave us in disrepair or our chains. Like me and my garden, he has a good plan for your life. Today, won’t you invite the Master Gardener in to set your garden in order? His hand is extended toward you too!
