Don’t lose your garden. You are probably wondering, “ What’s he talking about – lose what garden?” Well let’s look at a garden and how to lose it. There was this couple that lived in a beautiful garden. They had everything a person could ask for, and then one day everything changed. They couldn’t live there anymore – they lost everything! So how did they lose this garden? They lost it through unbelief – God told them they should not eat from one tree, the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
All the devil did was to say to Eve, “Did God really say” and that is all it took for her to doubt God’s word. That is what he (the devil) says to us today. “Did God really say?” And this will cause you to lose your garden just as Adam and Eve lost the Garden of Eden.
Your Garden of Eden is the fruits of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Not TRUSTING in God will cause you to lose your love, joy, and especially your peace. Fear and worry will cause you to live in your own private hell. It’s your choice whom to trust and to believe.
