In My Father's Garden e-bog

The importance of spending time with the FatherFor the true believer it is of utmost importance to spend time with our Father. Spending time with God allows one to experience moments that one may rarely encounter. In God's presence we are changed for the better and only He gets the glory. "e;You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore"e; (Psalm 16:11 ESV). The Christian lifestyle is based upon a relationship with our Father through his only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ. The more hours and days spent with him develops a solid relationship that are built on a firm foundation. As Christians one must be intentional about the way one manages one's time. The same way we invest time with our loved ones, friends, and acquaintances, is the same way we get to know God better. When we stay focused and keep our mind on him, he promises to keep us in perfect peace. Having a heart for God will allow one to understand the purpose and plan that He has for one's life. It is imperative for the Christian to understand that the sole purpose of spending time with the Father is to get to know him. Knowing God intimately makes way for the believer to conform to his image. The garden is a significant place to meet God. It was the first place that he placed humankind to develop. In my father's garden there is a tone to re-establish an atmosphere for a connection or a reconnection with God. The garden of Eden was to be an earthly paradise occupied by humankind. God desires that same relationship with the modern-day Christian. "e;Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them"e; (Hebrews 7:25 ESV).
