Good Morning Garden

In speaking of the “bread of life,” Jesus calls it our daily bread. The reason for this is very fundamental—our contact with God must be a living one. It is our momentary attitude that governs our being.

…behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).

The most futile thing in the world is to seek to live upon a past realization. The thing that means spiritual life to you is your realization of God here and now.

Be thankful for yesterday’s experience, knowing that it is with you forever in the change of consciousness that it brought about, but do not lean upon it for a single moment for the need of today. The manna in the desert is the Old Testament prototype of this daily nourishment. The people wandering in the wilderness were told that they would be supplied with manna from heaven every day but they were on no account to try to save it up for the morrow. When, notwithstanding the rule, some of them did try to live upon yesterday’s food, the result was pestilence or death.

So it is it us. The art of life is to live in the present moment, and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God Himself.

Living in a perfect present is the fundamental premise of the Good Morning Garden. When we separated ourselves from God in the original garden, we lost the perfect present. In Ephesians, Paul said that God had removed the wall and partition that separates us from God and the Eden created for us. When we truly realize God’s immediate presence within us and we express that realization through out thoughts, words and deeds, God will provide for all our needs in a way that allows us to live in our garden in joy and gladness regardless of what we face in our daily lives here below.
