  • So this is love!

    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!

  • Deliverance is at the Door!

    Deliverance is at the Door!

    As I come into the Center of my Garden today, I step through some low covering branches that are full of leaves. “Good Morning Lord”, I speak as my head is low. I look up into his eyes. He glances down to the load in my arms. Before I can ask him to take it from me he asks: “Can I take that from you?” “Yes Lord, please,” and I smile back at him, (for he was smiling in love at me). I had tried to grasp and understand too many things for the tasks set by the Master Gardener. I was getting ahead of him. “Forgive me for getting ahead of you”. “You are forgiven.” “Lord I trust you, there are areas that seem to be confusing, but I believe you and I yield to your ways and timing!” “Thank you. Now shall we get to work?” “Oh yes Lord, indeed, lead on!”

    As the day progressed it wasn’t many hours and clarity and progress have come in the very areas I stepped into the Center of my Garden heavy laden with. The Master Gardener was working even while we were walking and working. Deliverance is at the door, so I welcome Him in! Will you?
