  • 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!

  • Rivers of Love!

    Rivers of Love!

    Today I want to get lost, drowned, in your rivers of Love Lord. Saturate me and dunk me good! I need the refreshment and to be filled! I am headed to the place where these rivers converge. Maybe you want to leave the banks and dive in with me today. Maybe you will start out standing in the shallows, or swimming , but me I have dove in head first, now let your waves crash down over me Lord. Fill me with your love for your people and a holy reverence toward you! Let the wounds of the past and disappointments from past seasons wash away. Renew me Lord. I think I will swim a while here, friend! I hope you do today too! (I will go now for the King of Kings has entered the scene and has joined me and I must laugh and be with him awhile!!!)
