Oh I do so hope that there is/are many gardens, with so many beautiful flowers 💐 😄

....wow....to 'physically ' be able to walk side by side with our Lord!! How will we respond? We can only imagine....

I imagine that Love will be overwhelming and flowing like a river. Joy mixed in with gratitude like a complete salad with Glory as the dressing.

Amen, sister. Abiding in Him. Trusting and recognizing His sovereignty and Loving care for each of us and that this time is fleeting and will end. He reigns!

Sometimes, I imagine a garden and walking with the Lord in a place that lacks nothing. Eden.

"a garden and walking with the Lord"

Thought of this when I read your post Alive, and am sure you know it. The lyrics speak.

Inspired by the gospel of John, chapter 20, this hymn celebrates the joyous companionship its author, C. Austin Miles, experiences with Jesus as he walks through the garden

In the Garden

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

I stayed in the garden with Him
Though the night all around me is falling
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
None other has ever known

Oh dear brother...thank you for posting this. I have not heard it for a long time. What a sweet blessing.

I was just now playing and singing Psalm 19--a favorite from younger days.

I was out watering the gardens in the cool of the morning for my wife and there is a kind of peace doing so. Cool water, growing things and His sustenance all around.

We have, for these last 4 years, been carrying burdens hard to bear and yet our Lord has sustained us--something has changed in recent days, where the Lord has lifted the weight and ushered in a new season. Its hard to express this, but by His Spirit between brethren. A time of refreshing even when the storm still rages outside. His love and mercy is everlasting.

Thanks again for hearing Him.

I have also felt the Lord drawing me closer and closer as the days move on. 

It all started for me in July 2018 when a tumor was found in my head and after the tumor was removed the voice of the Holy Spirit whispered in my ear all of the time and he still does!  In fact I started a ladies encouragement group in my home two months after the surgery!  Before then I had been walking the walk fairly well but my obedience was lacking.  There had been a prophesy over me in 2009 that I would open my home for hospitality and encouragement but dummy me, I denied it.  It took a tumor to move me and what an incredible blessing it has been.

The ladies group is called Power of Twelve with a tag line, "Twelve Women. Twelve Words. Twelve Months."  He even had me incorporated the group but I still have no idea why.  He will show me when he is ready.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Why is encouragement emphasized in the Bible? Because encouragement is necessary to our walk of faith.

1. Encouragement makes it easier to live in a fallen world.

2. Encouragement gives hope.

3. Encouragement helps us through times of discipline and testing.

4. Encouragement nurtures patience and kindness.
