The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Holy Scripture introduces us to the human person living in the Garden of Eden satisfied with all that is supplied by Our Father for our joy and happiness. Temptation is a reminder that we can be distracted from the path that The Father has designed for our well being, and eternal happiness. The Garden story has been well rehearsed by human life from its beginning, with perhaps the added thought that the decision to reject The Father's plan for our well being is ours to make. Free will also includes our right to change our mind the result of learning from walking the path of experience, returning to Our Father's loving protection.
I have a well established habit here of offering a film addressing the topic that I have introduced, better illustrating the truth that I am endeavouring to convey. This romantic adventure is delightfully colorful conveying to its audiences the awareness that all that tantalises the senses may fail to address our real needs.
This early technicolor Hollywood production (1936) faithfully translates onto film The Garden of Allah a 1904 novel by the British author Robert Hichens. The tale addresses the journeys of the two leading characters attempting to discover their life's purpose, escaping from all that they believed was denying them happiness. By today's standards the story may appear rather corny, even unrealistic, yet delivers a very clear message that our learning experiences can provide us with the necessary wisdom to reverse our earlier poor choices putting right all that life provides for us to see the light. Lead Kindly Light.
