I am in the outer garden taking time to breathe and prepare myself. I have asked the Master Gardener to meet with me in the Center of My Garden. I realized I need to let go and be stiller inside, so the Holy Spirit is helping me. I could come to him just as I am, I would just have a hard time receiving, so I take pause. I let go of my agenda and will for my day. I release all anxiety. I then enter: “Good morning my King!” He smiles, “Good morning! It is a beautiful day!” “Yes Lord it is!” “Come away with me and when you leave this place today, come back often. You will need it today.” “Yes Lord!” And I focus on Him.
It has only been a few hours since my encounter and I am glad to have remembered the instructions I received earlier. He knew how the day would go and the needs I would have. What a wonderful reminder!
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Against such there is no law.
The above scripture is a good reminder and wisdom not just for us to follow after, but it is a good indicator of fruit in those around us. Often times we can be controlled through compliance with scripture like this, but is the one controlling abiding by these toward us? Yes we should abide in these, but open our eyes to truth so we do not stay believing and perpetuating disfunction and abuse. My eyes are opening and I want to be a better fruit inspector. How about you?
