“IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. In the intimacy of GOD’S Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense GOD’S nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only GOD’S Presence can fill. GOD designed you for close communication with your Creator. How GOD enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with GOD in the garden of your heart, both you and HE are blessed. This is The LORD’S way of living in the world—through you! Together you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. PSALM 32 : 7
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12
Prayer: How I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden. One glorious day. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart often. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
