When sin entered the world, we no longer had access to that tree. We waited for another tree.
The Cross.
Jesus, as the perfect sacrifice for our sins once again gives us access to the Tree of Life. But we have to wait.
Wait for Heaven.
Until then, we are Living Life Between The Trees.

A loving relationship always equals obedience, whereas obedience does not always equal a loving relationship!
"O Lord,
that lends me life,
that lends me life,
Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness."
William Shakespeare

Pray!
II Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Quotes That Make Me Say "Ahh!"
“The true Christian was intended by Christ to prove all things by the Word of God, all churches, all ministers, all teaching, all preaching, all doctrines, all sermons, all writings, all opinions, all practices. These are His marching orders. Prove all by the Word of God; measure all by the measure of the Bible; compare all with the standard of the Bible; weigh all in the balances of the Bible; examine all by the light of the Bible; test all in the crucible of the Bible. That which can abide the fire of the Bible, receive hold, believe, and obey. That which cannot abide the fire of the Bible, reject, refuse, repudiate, and cast away. This is the flag which He nailed to the mast. May it never be lowered!” - John Wycliffe
“It is sometimes said that those who are concerned with the essence of the gospel and with true doctrine are the disruptors of the church, but Paul says the opposite. The truth is that the gospel is the real promoter of peace and is the channel of God’s mercy. There can be no peace or mercy for the church when those responsible for following this “rule” depart from it.”
~ James Montgomery Boice from his commentary on Galatians
As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a Den , and I laid me down in that place to sleep: and, as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein; and, as he read, he wept, and trembled; and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying, "What shall I do?"
~John Bunyan, "Pilgrim's Progress"

Isn't that crazy? My husband sent me a link to this video earlier in the week. It actually made me think of how boring being a shepherd must have been in ancient times.
