In it I was sitting in the most beautiful garden I’d ever seen. Sitting next to me was my Lord Jesus with his hand gently atop mine, I’d never felt such peace. We sat in silence for awhile as I allowed the wonder of this beautiful Garden to overwhelm me. I began to ask him questions about the garden, its waterfall, the various plants and flowers and he answered each one with loving patience. I remember thinking to myself, WOW my Lord is AWESOME, just look at what HE created. I turned to my right and saw off to the side a small rose bush where the roses had yet to bloom. I remember thinking I’d never seen a rose bush quite so lovely, even before the roses bloom and then a thought came to me…Gee, I never in my whole life received a rose. Before I could allow sadness to overtake me, and as if reading my mind, Jesus reached over to his side and pulled out a bouquet of the most beautiful red roses I’d ever laid eyes on.  He turned to! me with the most gentle smile and said, "My child, these are for you" I hung my head in shame thinking how could he be so kind after the way I’ve behaved Why just this morning I was so busy into other things I didn’t stop to say "I love you Jesus", and throughout the day everything seem to have gone wrong, yet I did not once call upon Him for assistance. Why did I allow self pity and weariness to set in today instead of calling out his name? And in the night, feeling sorry for myself and the trials going on in my life I turned away from him feeling I had no strength to pray, to even say "Goodnight my Lord". Yet here He sits with a bouquet of roses. Shame overwhelmed me and I managed to mumble the words "No my Lord, I’m not worthy to receive this from you, take it back and give it to one who is". He gently placed the roses on the side next to him and turned to me. Looking directly into my eyes I saw his pain, and I turned away as I could not bear to see him. I could feel my heart breaking into a million little pieces. Softly He said "My dear child, no one is truly WORTHY. I am not giving you these roses because you are worthy, I’m giving them to you because I LOVE YOU! Do you not want the gifts I desire to give you?" What could I say to this? My body began to shake as deep sobs welled up within me and I placed my hands on his shoulders, clutching his robe, I buried my head into his chest and I wept…..I wept……I wept…. and said forgive me Lord, forgive me. He whispered to me "Yesterday was yesterday and I have forgiven you". He stood up and handed me the bouquet, I stood up to receive it. He took me by the hand and led me deeper into this beautiful garden and with each step my heart became overjoyed. Along the way I dropped a single red rose and stooping down to pick it up Jesus gently said, "Leave it there, it will find it’s place". The next morning I awakened from my dream to find……… a single red rose, lying upon my pillow and I was reminded instantly of how much he loves me and that "HIS LOVE SETS ME FREE"  In the poem below, our precious and loving brother Stephen expresses how sometimes we faint, sometimes we make mistakes, sometimes we stumble and fall, but ALL the time Jesus is there with such AWESOME and PRECIOUS love that SETS US FREE! Precious Stephen, the Holy Spirit is working in you for you always tend to write exactly what we may need to hear. I love you my dear brother and I thank you from my heart for sharing…….Khandielese
