Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Dear one, my thoughts are toward you. My thoughts are of love and gentleness, of care and loving kindness. I walk with you in the garden. We don’t talk but just stroll, admiring the roses, inhaling their scents, and exclaiming over their beauty. The variety of colors is stunning. I made all of these! We walk along boxwood hedges, green towers that give home to birds and bugs. The sky is startlingly blue with white wispy clouds. The breeze is warm and gentle. The garden has many ‘rooms.’ We go to sit in the gazebo. A pond is nearby. We see koi fish swimming lazily about. Birds sing nearby. All is peaceful and calm. I delight in you and you delight in Me and My creation. “All this you make for me?” I ask. “Yes”, I reply, “All this… and more!” The beauty of the earth is for Me to share. My loving touch is evident in all creation. The earth’s majesty is a dim reflection of My Majesty. Breathe deeply. Soak in My beauty. Open your eyes to My Glory.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,

and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,

so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise

to sprout up before all the nations.

Isaiah 61:11   ESV
