As Christian believers, no matter our outward physical, emotional condition, our bodies are not our own... we are fragile carriers of Christ in us, the hope of glory.

We have a very engaged Father in heaven, ready to show compassion and mercy...He's also very sensitive to our acts of betrayal anytime we give something or someone first place in our heart over Him.

When we humble ourselves, by repenting of our sins and believing Jesus to be our Lord and Saviour (Shepherd), we go from being needy to having all our needs met by the true riches of Christ.

Humility is a key to remaining teachable, which in turn, enables us to be open to receive all God has for us.

Even believers are subject to deception as seen in the Garden of Eden... we ought to deception-proof our lives by reading God's word and spending much time in the secret place... just us and God alone...getting to know His voice!

We get a 3 for 1 bonus to help us thrive in this life when we repent of our sins and receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.

God wants our unity in the faith to inspire others... we don't have to do this life alone... our hope is found in Jesus!

Do we feel compassion towards those walking among us who are lost...no direction...no hope... no love? If so, let's walk as Jesus walked...speaking and touching those lost, He puts in our path.

God's plan for His children of getting back to the Garden experience can be realized now through time spent in the secret place with Him and obeying His word.

Our God, is not some distant being. He is a very affectionate Father who knows what to do and say at just the right time, to make us feel loved!
