Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Like a watered garden, I offer a peaceful, tranquil respite for you today and for days to come.  Enter the garden with Me. Pull back the long branches of the willow tree and step into a secure haven designed just for you. See the rippling water, feel the cool air on your face, hear the birds chirping, and relax. Your mind will slow and calm as you take in your surroundings and inhale my sweet fragrance. My oil of gladness covers you and lifts your spirits. Put your feet in the water and enjoy the coolness on your toes. Watch the fish swimming nearby. Let all cares melt away and bask in my enveloping love.  All is well.

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;

they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord – the grain,

the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds.

They will be like a well-watered garden, 

and they will sorrow no more.

Jeremiah 31:12
