The more we get what we now call “ourselves” out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become. . . . I am not, in my natural state, nearly so much of a person as I like to believe: most of what I call “me” can be very easily explained. It is when I turn to Christ, when I give myself up to His Personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.

The fundamental premise of these devotionals is that God gave us an Eden in which to live, and the only thing keeping us out of it is us. It is called the Good Morning Garden because each day we can live in the garden called Eden.
We just have to get our “selfs” out of the way. That is also the secret to becoming the children of God we were created to be.
Being God’s child,
Z gardener
