The Garden Experience
Have you had a Garden of Gethsemane experience? It was in a garden where Adam first said, "Not Your will, but mine be done," and it was in a garden where Jesus fell to His knees and prayed, "Not my will, but Yours be done." At the time, His disciples were asleep; so don't be discouraged if those around you are asleep, when it comes to seeking the lost. Simply get on your knees and say, "Father, the thought of sharing the Gospel with the lost makes me sweat great drops of blood in fear. Yet not my will, but Yours be done." Make it so real that the next time you are tempted to do you own thing, you'll remember your agonizing Gethsemane experiencethat you live for His will, not your you own. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
