Jesus said to me [Judy]:
"I want to confirm what you have already sensed. Out of the ruins of the flood will come a beautiful garden! It will be a resting place for you and I unlike anything we have enjoyed before. You are right to think the flood represents satan's plans and the River represents your body. He seeks to wreak havoc and you are torn up in your body. But I can mend you. I can restore you. I can bring forth beauty that was not there before. I have come to give you life and give it to you in abundance. LIFE - not stuff - as some would think - LIFE!"
In this I, Judy, knew He was saying that He would bring His purpose out of destruction. It is like when Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery; he stated that though they had meant him harm, God had used it for good. My [painful and wounded physical] body represents the Body of Christ and His promises are for the whole of His Body [those who believe in Him], not just for one. His promises are for you. We know that though we may be struck down, we are not destroyed. It is with this promise to bring LIFE that I take a deep breath and close my journal until next time, pondering what He has shown me, still shaking from His magnificence.
In the Father's love,
Judy Bauman
