My Secret Garden
Chapter One
In my Secret Gordon are many secrets of myself I have not let go of. Now I am leaning how to let go of some of them, and maybe with God's help I will be free of them all. You see God has given to me a book to read that I might understand my purpose and why I am on this Earth. I have looked to understand what my purpose was in life. Yet as always I was looking in all the wrong places for the answers. When all I had to do was to open the book that my Father gave me at birth and that was the Bible to read. Not only to read, but ask Him to gave me understanding of what I am reading and how to apply His words in my walk on earth with Him. Also, that I might understand His purpose for me being hear. You see without my Father in my life, my life will be purposeless. Without a purpose my life his been motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.
Without a purpose in my life, life became trivial, petty, and pointless. Until now I have lived a very pointless life. Things like lying, stealing, using people using myself, not being a good Father to my girls, are good friend to people that cared for me, doing drugs, and many more bad things. You see it was all about Neal and what I wanted, that is why my life became pointless and without purpose. I did not have God in my life. I though I was God almighty myself. But on December 26, 2007 God really showed me that he is the true God and power. He really forgave me of all my sins, and put me back to work. After I had made a mess of my life again, He would not let go of me. And I am very glad of the fact that He loves me so very much, that He keeps on forgiving me for my sins.
In His loving kindness He put me back to work again, after I had made a mess of things as always tiring my self will knowing that I am powerless. He will not let of me and I am thankful for that. What God has done for me, I could never do for myself. I see now that the greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose. Knowing my purpose will give meaning to my life. You see God created me to have meaning. And knowing my purpose will only simplify my life more. It will define what I do and don't do. My purpose will become the standard I will use to evaluate which activities are essential and which aren’t. I simply ask is this activity in accord with God's word and not mines.
It will help me concentrate my efforts and energy on what is important .I am learning to become more effective, by being more selective I no longer desire to play trivial pursuit with my life. I also am learning that I know longer have to live a life of quiet desperation. Without a Godly purpose, I will keep changing directions, jobs, relationships, Churches, or other externals-hoping each change will settle the confusion or fill emptiness in my heart.
When your life is good or on an uphill swing, the angels will be there to share in your laughter and to maximize your success, too. They will teach you how to enjoy the good times, just as they help you with the difficult times.
“Offer to God thanksgiving, and pray your vows to the Most High” - Psalm 50:14
Father, we give thanks this day for all the blessings you have given to us, your children. We thank you for our families, friends, for providing for our every need, everyday - all good gifts come from you.
We thank you during the difficult times, too. Even in the mist our struggles we are joyful because you are here with us. You are near to us when our hearts are broken. You are our strength and our refuge and your grace is sufficient to see us through every trial.
Most of all we thank you for sending your Son to die on the cross for our sins. We are continually amazed that you would go through so much just so you would be able to call us “your children”.
You are the great Lord Of Hosts and we are just simple people. How could we ever repay you for the kindness you’ve shown us? We never could. We have only one thing we can offer you — our heart-filled thanks.
Imagine your angel is sitting opposite you right now. Close your eyes, breathe in deeply and imagine your angel's golden light of love is filling your heart.
