Fire upon a tree

I have a garden. I walk through my garden. I see a tree that is not good. I see the tree looks beautiful, but inside it's fruit is poison... even the flowers are poison, though beautiful to look at it brings forth death. Yes, even the trunk, bark and roots are filled with poison and brings forth great agony and pain.

"Cut down the tree.. cut down the tree..!" I hear a voice cry.

"No.. I will not." I said. Then I called upon the Keeper of the garden. He is real wise and has much knowledge. Also he is powerful and nothing can slip past him. He is a Good Gardener and would know what to do.

He brought in many workers. They worked day and night. They loosened the soil around the tree's roots and dug him out. Not even a small piece of his root remained. Then they walked all through my garden. They searched, found and picked up each and every seed of this tree. They missed not one seed. Not one seed remained in my garden. Not even under the ground. Then they searched for the flowers that were plucked or fell from this tree. Each one of them were found. Not one were hidden,

not one missed...

The Keeper of my garden gave order and all of the seed and flowers were put with the tree. A great fire came from out of Heaven and devoured all. None remained. Not even dust. This tree were taken out of my garden by fire. Holy fire and not even ashes, dust or smoke remained. There were no smell and no dirt to clean afterwards. Nothing was left. Even the fragrance of this trees flowers, leaves, root and bark were burnt out of the air by this fire.

Look.. it was as if this tree never existed at all. Then.. the fire reached out and touched my heart, soul and spirit. The memory of this tree were burned out of my existence.

Look... it is as if this tree never was.

Look. I have a beautiful garden with roses and rose bushes and look... there are trees of joy and love and there are water streams and all kinds of plants and bushes and trees. Look at all the animal life.. look at all the birds. Look.. there are children playing in the shade under the trees.. they are laughing and singing songs.

Look I have a wonderful garden. Look at all the joy. Look at the dew drops and see the soft rain falling. See the golden rays of sunlight upon the water streams and see the rainbows in the skies.

See and smell my joyful garden.

Come.. come into my garden.. come enjoy. Come taste the joy in my fruits and come be enchanted by the fragrances of all the beautiful flowers.

Come.. oh come.. and I will show you the honey in the cleft of the rock and you can taste also with me

the sweetness of God.

"Glory unto the Keeper of my garden."

"Glory unto His wonderful Name."

Glory in His garden

Glory unto God.

amen
