There are many roads in the garden of my wilderness.
Each is lined with the lessons of His creation and whilst the lessons may be seen through the seasons of our existence, they all bear the same two characteristics.
They are all a journey with Christ and at the same time, a search for Him.
Daily we travel up the Via Dolorosa, yet we struggle to feel the depth of the pain and the loneliness of abandonment. Through His Word, we experience the confirmation of the Emmaus Road and then on the road to Damascus, we see the full power of the Holy Spirit at work.
As the scales we acquire in life slowly open, the splendour of the fire-infused inflorescence bursts into the world, and suddenly the wilderness is alive with the whispers of creation’s creatures as they feast on its fruits and testify to the existence of the Trinity.
Of all the roads we traverse on our journey of faith, it is on the Damascus highway that the Spirit opens a whole new world to us. It is here the explosion of testimony bursts onto the world stage. This is the flame of the Apostles’ Holy Spirit. We are part of this. We need to be part of this!
Indwelt by the Spirit, we will be filled to overflowing. Let it out. The source will keep replenishing our supply with the energy of youthfulness that lasts into eternity.
There is no end to it. Hallelujah, Amen.
