I am a garden and God is the gardener, and He has and is doing work in me. God showed me my garden the other day in a vision, it was very strange and weird some of the things that He was showing me. At first everything was a blur, but as time went on, everything became more and more clearer.
At first..this is what He showed me. It was a long narrow garden; it had a long green hedge down both sides, and a straight narrow path down the middle. The garden was very long, and I could not see the end of it, but I knew that there was something there, it was very bright.
I was allowed to walk freely in my garden, but I never ventured far from the place I was, I was not sure as to what was in the garden and was scared to go anywhere.
It then started to rain, and a stream formed across the path. I then seen my self dancing with Jesus, we were rejoicing over the work that He had done in my life.
I then seen a lock, it was a huge lock, like a volt, big and grey, and it looked as though it would take a lot to unlock it. This lock was to the right side of me, but it was placed behind me.
I then seen myself chained to this lock, it was a heavy chain. This really puzzled me, as at first I was allowed to roam freely in the garden and now I was locked up.
I still was not able to see what was at the end of the long narrow path. God then showed me, that for me to be able to venture down that path and find out what was in that bright light, I had to be broken free from these chains. To do this, I had to work on things in my life.
There are many things in my life that need working on, and as I work on these, I seen that the big lock was starting to turn and gradually as I put more trust in the Lord and work on these problems, the lock with be unlocked and the chains will be set free.
I then will be able to venture down that path and explore what God has done there for me.
I sensed that, the garden God was showing me, was just my outer garden, my inner garden is much much bigger and better, and that garden is perhaps what God has for me at the end of that path. I also have a special friend in my garden; it was quiet clear to me that there was a blue bird in my garden. He flew around freely in it and whistled a sweet song.
Although this is only my outer garden, and what God has for me is much better, this is my safe place. Even though I am chained up here and locked to this big lock, I feel at peace here, I know that God will meet me here
