“THE GARDEN MESSAGE”
Yea,
I am thy God. Thinkest
thou that I will leave thee forever in this deep trouble?
Yea,
I am with thee. I need thee. I want thee and thou are indeed Mine. Would I leave My child, which I love, in this great need?
DO
YOU KNOW THAT I CARE FOR YOU AS A MOTHER CARES FOR HER CHILDREN? The world has
not seen this great love, not yet can understand the depth or breadth of it;
but I do love My children as a Shepherd who cares for
His sheep. Yea, if they are my My sheep, they hear My voice and
go in and out with Me. However, if they
do not heed My call, and come and do My bidding, but
wander off to their own devices and imagining, I cut them out and reserve them
for punishment as the Shepherd reserves some for shearing while others are left
untouched. Even as the
gardener prunes the dead branches, SO DOES THE SHEPHERD SHEAR HIS SHEEP OF
UNNEEDED BURDEN.
There
is no good thing kept from them that love the Lord, for He giveth
them plenty out of His great abundance, and out of their need He createst thanksgiving. Blessed and holy, and worthy of
praise, is He!
Let
all the Heavens and Earth proclaim His glory, for mighty are His deeds and
great are His works. He is the Lord God,
omnipotent, and He reigneth forever and ever.
Beloved,
I would not have you unknowing of the things that are to know. LO, I AM WITH YOU, EVEN UNTILTHE END OF THE
WORLD. Indeed, I am with you in essence
forevermore. There is no other God
before or after Me, nor can there ever be, for I alone am as I always have
been, and always will be, I am the I AM and am thy God. All creation giveth
Me glory, but you, in your pride, shut me out, as from
the very beginning I strove to be your God.
How
I did love you as I made you, fashioned you after My
kind, made you in perfect communion--your spirit and Mine. Through sin I was shut off forever from sweet
communion with you. I had made you for
pleasure, yours and Mine; but you strove for yours
alone. Why did you not see Me in the sunset, the brook, the tree, or the stream that flowed
from My Son at Calvary, who gave His life dear for your sin? Why did you not listen when I spoke to you by
my servants, the prophets of old. I wanted to have sweet communion with your
soul even then. I knew from the very
beginning that you and I were one, in purpose and love, and agreement, in many
ways yet unknown to you, who in your finite knowledge seek to plan all your
days in advance; who know not the time, nor the season, yet seek to plan out
your life.
Yea,
I am thy God who redeemed you and paid for your life with My Son’s, who bringeth thee gifts in abundance, and love in unstinted
amounts. Who poureth
forth blessings in torrents, who formeth thy life
with My hand, who loveth thee like brother who sticketh closer than life to your side, who once, by My
Spirit, did call you; who longeth for thee with My
life which I gave so I could have you
beside Me to love and for you to love Me.
I long for your coming as you long for Mine. Yet, I thinkI long
for you more then you long for MY blessed appearing. With fear you close the door to entrance from
Glory to your life and world here below.
You long for My coming, yet fear Me because
YOUR love is not perfect in ME. If you
loved me and trusted Me truly, you’d want Me as I’ve
wanted you. You’d long for My arms in the night time as I’ve longed for yours.
