“I want to be your companion just like in the
garden, so if you’re searching for Eden, find it in Me.”
The above chorus is from a Misty Edwards song (the title
of which I can’t remember or find). In EGS* tonight, this was the last song the
team did. The last time we sang the chorus, Misty, who was leading, said
something so simple and yet so profound: Sing it back to Him.
It’s so easy look at the Garden of Eden and see
everything mankind lost, but when we focus on what we lost, we miss a major
point. God lost something too. He lost the desire of His heart.
So I sang it back to Him, and as I sang it, I prayed in
in my heart. “I want to be Your companion just like in the garden, so if You’re
searching for Eden, find it in me. Find in me a heart that longs to fellowship
with You. Find in me a beloved who loves You. Find in me a resting place. Find
in my a heart that longs to worship You. Walk with me. Spend time with me. Let
me be the one with whom You talk, with whom You share the secrets of Your
heart.”
Open yourself up to Him, and as He gives you what you
lost when mankind fell, give Him back what He lost. You will both be delighted
you did.
