God's garden

Today God has given me such an incredible video that I wish I could put colors and music to. I found myself walking into this beautiful immense garden. It was so lush and beautiful that it took my breath away. I knew immediately that it was God's garden for each and every one of us. As I walked along, I saw each section was individually beautiful but yet flowed into the grand scheme of His garden. There were also names on each section: joy, peace, confidence, strength etc. I rushed around gathering as many as I could hold until my arms were just overflowing. Then the Lord said to me "slow down child, you need to discover and enjoy each one. If you try to absorb them all at once, you will miss the beauty and importance of each one." He then began to point out ones He wanted me to see personally, just for me. I began to understand that in my intense longing to draw closer to Him and truly know His heart, I was trying to gather too many flowers at once. He didn't expect me to know the names of all the flowers at once but to just enjoy browsing in His garden of blessings and really learn what each one is. As I left, I was surprised and saddened that the number of people taking their paths into the garden were so few. I hope this blesses you all as it did me!

Thanks for sharing this. What an awesome picture and a "appropriate" reminder in the beauty of the summer season and this season of my life.
