This picture is of a small portion of the Hofgarten, or courtyard garden, surrounding the Orangerie in Ansbach, Germany. This garden dates back to the 1700's, however, it was greatly damaged during WWII. Much of Ansbach was spared destruction during the war, but not the garden.
Evidence of this destruction is hard to see today.
"Then he said to me, 'Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.''" Ezekiel 37:9 New Living Translation
God is in the business of restoring that which has been destroyed. Through the destruction of Christ's body on the cross he has restored us, he has restored you.
At creation God breathed into Adam the breath of life. That life was taken from us when sin entered the world. God has breathed new life into you and me through Christ. This life cannot be taken from us. This life transcends physical death and promises resurrected life.
This breath of life is transforming you...now! You're not merely waiting for death so that you can be transformed in the presence of Christ. God cares about you now. He is doing his work in you now.
The Hofgarten is continually changing as plants grow and mature. You are continually changing as the power of the Holy Spirit, the Breath of God, works transformation in you.
