“Holy Spirit you are quiet this morning, or is it stillness?” It has made me draw closer and pay attention. I have a pleasant smile on my face and in my heart. “I anticipate your touch this morning.” The stillness of the Holy Spirit is what lead me to press in and look and listen closely. It eventually entered my physical surroundings to were there was no sound outside, not even a passing car.
After a pause I enter the Center of my Garden. “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “I love you,” he says with depth and passion. “Lord, is there a tear in your eye?” “Yes, Krista, there is.” Would you share what is on your heart with me? Is there a better question I should ask of you this morning?” “Pray!”, he commands. “Yes Lord!” We have been tilling the ground while we speak. And I get stuck in and join him at a more focused pace.
As the Lord spoke to me today I had the knowing that I was to begin by praying for the peace of Jerusalem, this was the first thing on his heart. Then I moved into other places and peoples and prayed for various things. I got a personal point to pray on next and as I listen I know there will be more. It is wonderful to partner with the Master Gardener. And how sweet to be counted a friend. May we continue to grow that we might mature into great friends of our Lord!
