The Secret Garden is a fascinating children’s classic. It is the story of a British child, Mary Lennox, who lived in India but is orphaned because of her parents’ death due to a cholera breakout. They send her to England to live with her only surviving relative, her uncle who is still mourning the death of his wife who died 10 years earlier. Through a series of events and a curious nature that won’t be denied Mary discovered an overgrown, run-down garden. It was a beautiful garden owned by her aunt which her uncle locked up and ignored after she died. When her uncle went to find her there he found his previously crippled son walking and the garden revived by the children’s efforts to plant flowers and plants. The story is a wonderful tale of Mary bringing life to the garden and to a grieving man.
You need to know that you have a hiding place, a secret place that God designed for you and him. It is your heart or if you will your mind. God gave us the ability to think, reason, discuss and above all experience him and talk about life, hurts, problems, and to simply enjoy each other’s company.
