Good Morning Garden

I DESIGNED YOU to live in union with Me. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of Me, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts.

Find fulfillment through living close to Me, yielding to my purposes for you. Though I may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that I know what I am doing. If you follow Me wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. I know you intimately—far better than you know yourself. In union with Me, you are complete. In closeness to Me, you are transformed more and more into the one I designed you to be.

Psalm 139:13-16    

2 Corinthians 3:17-18

The Singing NetSurfers

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing

praise to my God while I have my being.

Think of humans as remote controlled airplane kits. God designed us to fly. Yet, unless the plane is assembled according to the maker’s instructions, operated according to the plane’s specifications and powered by the proper energy, it will never fly as it was created to fly.

We are designed to fly; created to be one with God; ready to be assembled into that which God created us to be. When we follow God’s plan, we become the creatures God intended us to be. Then we will discover the real us and the real Eden that God created for us.

Learning to fly,
