In The Garden

As I have been praying and preparing to speak next Sunday morning in church about "Abiding in Christ" I knew I had to ask the worship team to sing the song the Lord gave to me some years ago.

In the garden, in the spice grove,
I am waiting for you there
In the garden, I will linger
I am waiting for you, My bride to prepare

Make yourself ready, make yourself ready,
Make yourself ready for Me
And for all you cannot do
My Spirit I send you
Make yourself ready for Me

Oh the fragrance of the garden
Love everlasting and free
I will give riches of heaven
To the one who surrenders all unto Me

Make yourself ready, it's time to get ready
Make yourself ready for Me
For My bride must be pure
And My bride must be holy
Will you be ready for Me?

I am calling, from the garden
I am waiting for you here
But the time is growing shorter
And My message to you right now must be clear

Make yourself ready, make yourself ready
Make yourself ready for Me
Make yourself ready, you need to be ready
Make yourself ready for Me.

Beautiful!!

You are right--I've read three posts in the past few days about "the garden"!!

Yes, I am ready, but I know so many who are not, and that is my concern--especially my own three children.

I talk, I live--they do not hear or see--what am I to do? Continue to pray for them, that's the best I can do for them!!

Love you,

Beth
