Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
You dwell in a world where you no longer believe it is possible to live in an intimate relationship with me. I want you to remember in the garden we walked and met in the cool of the day. In the silence of Eden, we communed one on one. There was no agenda with what you should look like or feel like. It was a perfect relationship where we were present together in complete unity. (Enjoy My Presence)

In the silence of Eden, we as Father Son and Holy Spirit lived in communion with you and all creation. There was never a hint of any feeling of separation when I was not physically present with you, but in the depths of your being, you were united in heart and spirit with me.
My desire for you is the restoring of that heart-to-heart connection of our relationship. I want you to intimately experience me moment by moment as the eternal now. However, instead of being renewed by my redemptive work on the cross you forget I’m always present with you. It is when you ignore me that causes your problems of getting along with your family and friends
I invite you to enter the silence most like that time in the garden no longer separated in your mind from my presence. Come to me and let go of everything in the world that separates you from me.
I challenge you to move away from your self-centered life which led to the demise of our relationship. I am the bread of heaven that came down, and it is my love that calls you home and into a vibrant relationship with me. Offer your life to me and rediscover how much I love you and what I desire for you is better than anything this world has to offer. In the silence of Eden commune once again with me one-on-one for eternity. (Contemplation: Seeing the World through God’s Eyes)
Scripture:
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us… Genesis 1:26 NLT
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8 NIV
For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. John 6:33 NIV
