BE ABLE TO WALK IN THE GARDEN IN YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD
In
all honesty, what Christian doesn’t want to receive the promises of our Lord. I
believe that a significant problem that exists in their not seeing this
happening stems from their being a sort of a doubting Thomas. For us to
understand this notion, we need to remember that Thomas had been a skeptic who
had refused to believe that Jesus had resurrected himself when he had appeared
to the other ten apostles. Thomas needed to see and feel the wounds that our
Lord had received being on the cross to believe what he saw.
There
are too many Christians who seem to be having a problem regarding their
relationship with the Lord. They seem to desire to see something tangible
first. When instead, they need to follow the scriptures as to what to do.
For
these Christian to achieve their improved relationship with the Lord need to
follow the instructions written in 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 [NKJV]:
“For
we walk by faith, not by sight.”
They
need to remember that all things are possible if you possess faith. And if you
need a little proof regarding this, then read MATTHEW 21:21 [NKJV]:
“So
Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith
and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also
if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be
done.”
What
the author, Lucretia Gargill, is attempting to do through the pages of her book
is to motivate and stimulate her readers to live their lives by walking by
faith and not by sight to receive the promises of God.
Hopefully,
by following Ms. Gargill’s advice, her readers will achieve their improve their
relationship with the Lord and possess the ability to walk in the garden. The
garden that I’m referring to is the one mentioned in the song by Merle Haggard:
And
he walks with me and he talks with me
And he tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.
And he tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.
For
wanting to improve her reader’s relationship with the Lord, being the voracious
reviewer of nonfiction books that I am, I’m happy to give Ms. Gargill 5 STARS
for her endeavor here.
