“Oh, to have one’s soul under heavenly cultivation; no longer a wilderness but a garden of the Lord! Enclosed from the waste, walled around by grace, planted by instruction, visited by love, weeded by heavenly discipline, and guarded by divine power, one’s favored soul is prepared to yield fruit unto the Lord.” Charles Spurgeon

We are well-watered and walk securely by the truth and wisdom of God’s Word, the whole counsel of the Bible not our emotions.

We love well as we know Him more and recognize that it is His love that compels us to live and speak in a way that is often misunderstood by those who don’t know Him.

But He is personal and able to be known by those who seek Him on His terms not their own; by those who humble themselves under His loving conviction and the free offer of His sweet redemption through faith by the grace of Jesus Christ.

“Blessed is the one…whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers!” Psalm 1
