Wouldn’t you love to have lived in the Garden of Eden? Imagine the lush greenery with no hint of brown crinkled edges on leaves or black frostbitten plants. Take a walk down a path of primroses and pansies or saunter in a redwood forest with deep plush moss and spindled ferns. Find the waterfalls and swim in the refreshing lake or sit in a field of clover and listen to the humming of bees and singing of birds. Can you imagine the laughter and stimulating conversations about the things of God in a setting as troubled free as the air in Eden?
Miraculously, Peter tells us those days are returning. “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:14). Allow those words to sink in. Let them comfort you today. Keep them in focus as you make choices and follow Peter’s advice, “Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligenet to be found by him in peace, without spot and blameless..”
