ALL Purpose FLower Part 1
Life really IS a Beautiful Garden.
"The LORD God planted a Garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man- Adam whom He had formed... he Placed him there to Cultivate it, work it and take care of it...." (Genesis 2:8,15)
Where am i headed with this blog? Well i think we all get asked and have questioned.... about purpose. What is my Purpose here on earth--? "How do i know if what i want- my dreams- will line up with the purpose God has for me?.... I get asked that probably the most. And sometimes its hard in our generation to drop our bags and just trust God that he reallllly does know our hearts DEEPEST desires. But then i am reminded.... uh Truth is, where do you think your dreams, thoughts, aspirations, our deep deep desires and passions are coming from- who do you think births these dreams in us to want to pursue such radical surreal, yet SO REAL achievements ?????( that really- only thru god we will be able to achieve right????)
Anyways i have to be short. I have been saturating in the book and beginning of Genesis. Such a RAD, beauty full extravagant book to understand- IN the beginning-- I like to read it in the perspective understanding Gods character in how everything he made and how he made to evolve -- GOD OF ORDER, God of INCREASE ----
Its pretty straight forward. God has really has given us Dominion, Authority, Gods Image in us - the man and woman he created- in his liking-- as our purpose to rule over and tend for his garden ---- The purpose is not work ( i don't like that word!!)- or "to just do nice things so we feel all warm and fuzzy inside " -- it is the assignment-- the ASSIGNMENT from God- where he has placed us, to impart heaven on earth- his kindom come- advance this luscious luxurious paradise of GOd! - just as he first PUT Adam, when he placed him in The Garden of Eden- to manage and tend the Garden, "to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over ALL THE EARTH over all creatures that move along the ground" Genesis 1:26----- he has given all of us- to Manage his Kingdom here Heaven on earth-- Life is such an exuberant garden we all have to manage and tend for, the assignment.
Can you think of your life and apply this in terms of visualizing the Garden you tend?
This is the Assignment.
Anyways more to come on this ....
