Hear the Father

The truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ resided in the mind of Almighty God eons prior to our creation[1]. God, with His infinite wisdom decided to take bare elements of a created world and formed man[2]--from a place near man’s heart got took flesh and created woman[3].

It was here in a garden setting that the focus of the universe and eternity would rest. The calmness and purity of then eternity was broken by sin[4]. The sweet fellowship between God and humankind in the garden, walking together sided by side, ended[5].

God spoke clearly and often through the generations to follow. The people clearly heard His voice—clearly--they knew His reality[6].

This morning do you hear the Spirit of God whispering in your heart?[7]

Does His Holy Spirit gently caution you, teach you, scold you, and guide you?[8]

Do you have a sense that God is near, so near?[9]

The Spirit of God is given to those who are known of Him to lead us and speak to us--we must listen.[10]

Find a quiet place, a garden-place of your soul and mind and listen to God as He walks through the garden calling your name... God loves you so very much![11]

Father, thank you for speaking to our hearts and minds and showing us your great love. May we walk in the coolness of the garden with you each and every day.
