Squinting In Fog

 

Christi Bowman

I've found myself addicted to many things that have hurt me spiritually, but with the help of an AMAZING God, a WONDERFUL husband, and a few good friends I am overcoming. I have what some people call an addictive personality, and I have heard it said that when one addiction is given up it can be quickly replaced with the next best thing that comes along...all I can say is I HOPE SO.

His Garden.

1:34 PM by Christi Bowman

Because of Jesus, we CAN have the relationship Adam had, in the garden, with God, BEFORE sin, TODAY!! God WANTS us DESPERATELY to realize this. You have been bought and paid for...He sees YOU as perfection...because of Jesus. Jesus literally and figuratively covers you. He loves YOU...and wants to take nightly walks with you. He wants to converse with YOU all day long. Do you let Him? He stands at the door and knocks...FOR YOU, CHRISTIANS. Your life doesn't have to be meaningless...hopeless...sad. It doesn't have to be about the endless unquenchable thirst for self. We as a church have failed. We don't convey this. Jesus didn't die, so that you would have abundant life when you physically die. He wants you to spiritually die...die to your sin...so that you can hear Him...and walk with Him...EVERYDAY...in His garden. That's what abundant life is. That is what YOU were created to do. You have got to believe that.

I am here to testify that I had everything I ever wanted, where the world is concerned, and even I knew I was missing something...I was missing EVERYTHING. Dying to your sin is a process...a journey...and He knows this. Commit to Him, that dying is what you TRULY wish to do...and He will speak to you. Tell Him you want nothing but Him, and that you have noticed the meaninglessness in your life without Him. Tell Him...and you will notice Him right there, where He has always been...right by your side. He talks to you...He wants you to hear Him. I can't get you there...but I can tell you He IS there...waiting to take the weight off your back, and walk with YOU in the garden.
