In The Garden

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  Genesis 1:27

Have you ever really thought about the beauty of the garden, the unspoiled beauty, Adam and Eve lived in?  Have you ever really thought about what it was like to walk and talk with God through the garden without a care in the world?  We can, you know...  Oh we won't actually be walking in a garden but we can walk and talk with God daily through our quiet time, a time we set aside to be with Him alone.

You know we are a lot like Adam and Eve.  We want everything now and we don't want anyone or anything to stand in the way.  We choose to ignore God and His direction for our lives and by our actions we cause others to stumble just as Eve did.  We walk away from God and His leadership to meet our own desires.

But you know what God never leaves us, He is waiting for us to say I'm sorry and to ask His forgiveness for the sins we commit.  Just as He promised our Redeemer lives.  Jesus sacrificed His life for us allowing us access to God's presence.  All we need to do is step into the garden of prayer.

Beautiful Garden Of Prayer

by Eleanor A. Schroll

There's a garden where Jesus is waiting,
There's a place that is wondrously fair;
For it glows with the light of His presence,
'Tis that beautiful garden of prayer.

There's a garden where Jesus is waiting,
And I go with my burden and care
Just to learn from His lips words of comfort,
In the beautiful garden of prayer.

There's a garden where Jesus is waiting,
And He bids you to come meet Him there;
Just to bow, and receive a new blessing,
In the beautiful garden of prayer.

  Oh, the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer,
Oh, the beautiful garden of prayer;
There my Savior awaits, and He opens the gates
To the beautiful garden of prayer.
