We are God’s Garden

Where to get started 

When you’re feeling half hearted 

And you’ve felt this way for far too long

You’ve become lost in the dust of the bustle and rush 

Carrying burdens and battles too heavy and hushed.  

There’s no time to delay. 

It’s time to unpack 

Unburden the load that weighs heavy on your back

There’s a quiet place where you can meet face to face

Where you’ll feel His presence and are comforted by grace.

Here the work can get started 

There is peace in God’s garden 

Where He tends and waters, and prunes the dead growth. 

New shoots will appear as He draws us near 

Blessed by blue skies and His watchful eyes as the clouds are cleared.

Draw Near to God and He will draw near to You

So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him make himself scarce. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.

James 4:8-10 (The Message) 

We cannot serve two masters. However, one is a thief and the other is our peace. 

I will always show you where to go. I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places – firm muscles, strong bones. You’ll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry.

You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again.

James 4:8-10 (The Message) 

God Loves to see the Work Begin ❤

After that, the Word of God came to me: “Zerubbabel started rebuilding this Temple and he will complete it. That will be your confirmation that God-of-the-Angel-Armies sent me to you. Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings? They’ll change their tune when they see Zerubbabel setting the last stone in place!”

Going back to the vision, the Messenger-Angel said, “The seven lamps are the eyes of God probing the dark corners of the world like searchlights.” ❤ Zechariah 4:10 (The Message)
