Reminiscing with Jesus in My Garden

Rev. Sharyn Zenz

As I sit quietly today and go to my garden, I see a horn of plenty in the center of my garden and all around it are beautiful rows of lush green plants. As I sit on my bench looking at this beauty, Jesus sits beside me and tells me that the horn of plenty is to remind me of all the bounty and abundance I have had this past year.

It is huge and overflowing. And all the rows of lush green plants are the gratitude seeds I planted throughout the year. Jesus says, “Go down each row and pick something from each plant to be grateful for.” So as I go up to each plant and pick a beautiful flower from it or a green branch for my bouquet, I am told what each one represents.

As I went to my rose bushes and picked a long stem, Jesus reminded me of the beauty that I am. And then as I select a beautiful rose from the next bush I am told, “Everyone and everything that has happened in your life this past year is as beautiful as this rose, even though at the time it may have seemed like such sorrow or pain!”

Then as I go to another beautiful plant, I select a branch with such delicate fern-like leaves and am reminded, “Just as you see the perfection in my branches, see the perfection in every circumstance in your life, for they are all connected as I am, and selected just for you from One who knows exactly what is perfect for you!”

As I go to another lovely plant, I select a stem with several round beautiful flowers on it. They look like little bubbles and so perfect in every way. I am told, “Let these little bubbles remind you of when you were a child and played with the bubbles and chased after them in such innocence. Don’t take life so seriously dear one, and see the innocence in yourself. Allow yourself to be more playful, like when you play with the bubbles with your grandson. Laugh and have fun.” I picked three or four of those stems for my bouquet as I knew it was an important message for me to hear and to remind myself of often.

Then as I went to another row I saw all the colors of the rainbow on the plants and they were all beautiful daisies. As I picked several of them for my colorful bouquet I was reminded that, “Every person you look at, no matter what color they are, or what their preferences are, is in perfect order. They are perfect in every way and it is up to me to see them that way no matter what anyone says or how circumstances may look at the time.” I thought about that for awhile and asked Jesus if He could shed some Light on these beautiful daisies that I was picking and how I could apply their meaning in the coming year.

He said, “Look at every person and every thought about any person in your life as just a color or daisy that they are expressing, and that what they are expressing to you may not be the same color or idea that you have, but it all fits in the same bouquet and there is no right way or wrong way. It’s just that particular person expressing their colors and since they are One with you and God created us all beautiful, see their colors (their thoughts or expressions) as only Love and a part of you. They are all one part of your bouquet created by God. You are One with everyone and everything.”

I went on to the next row and selected many beautiful branches of leaves for the background of my bouquet and was reminded that the leaves were just as pretty as the flowers and that there are no differences. Everything and everyone is as beautiful as God created us to be. There really is nothing but beauty.

As I kept going up and down the rows picking more beautiful flowers, it seemed like one was as beautiful as the next and I could see how my bouquet was all coming together as one Love bouquet. I decided I was gong to call it my Love bouquet from my Oneness Garden.

As I go on my journey tonight for Christmas eve and meet all the family and relatives, I ask, “Holy Spirit, remind me everyday this coming year that everyone I see and everything I look at is part of my Love bouquet and they are all One with me, and that there are no differences. We are all the same as God created us.”

I asked Holy Spirit to also remind me that there is no specialness and no need to feel different or apart from anyone. For in God’s eyes there are no differences and when I remember that Oneness with all, how can there ever be specialness? We are all the same. We are a part of a Plan so much greater than we could ever realize or imagine and all we have to do is trust that it is so. Holy Spirit reminded me that “Gods knows us as soooooo much more than we could ever believe of ourselves” and He told me, “It would be good for the coming year to be more accepting of our greatness as part of God and One with all.” It is not conceited or grandiose to remember and accept His plan as the one Plan of Awakening. It is necessary for our healing and the healing of all the world to accept this! Unworthiness is washed away and only our greatness is left and our worthiness to finally accept our part in God’s plan of awakening. Holy Spirit then said to me “Will you please accept this gift of Love and worthiness?” And of course I answered, “Yes, Yes, Yes!”

So now that I have my Love bouquet from the Oneness Garden to remind me of many wonderful ways of changing my thoughts and accepting God’s gifts this coming year, I do feel fulfilled and grateful. My heart is bursting with joy and love for everyone and I am really seeing everyone as God’s gift to me. Thank you Holy Spirit and Jesus for showing me the way Home.
