Welcome to a small series of bite-size devotionals for you to chew on (think about) and apply to your life for spiritual nourishment and growth. They don’t take long to read, because each one is only a paragraph or two. They’re just a “snack,” but if you have time for a “meal” then maybe read a single devotional more than once, and meditate on it, or turn to your Bible and read its related scripture verse there, as well as the verses that surround it. Then allow it to renew your mind and stay in your heart. Also share this page (www.nowthatsvegan.com/food-for-thought/) with your friends or anyone who you think might be interested. Ready to get started? Great! Here’s the first devotional:
You Were Created for the Garden
by Tom
You suffer every day. That is because your body and soul were not created for planet earth as it is now. You were created for the Garden. Think of it! You were not in any way equipped to be insulted or slapped, ignored, slighted, or jeered. You were in every way created to be living in peace and unbroken fellowship with God and others. We have pain every day that we were not designed for. Paul writes in Romans 8:22: “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.” The whole world suffers! Believers and unbelievers suffer, but we in Christ suffer with hope. It’s when we see Jesus that our tears will be wiped away. That is when our suffering will end, and the joys we only taste now will be ever full. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” – Revelation 21:4
