Gethsemane

God is waiting to meet us in a garden called Gethsemane

Essential to our relationship with God is spending time with Him

There will always be a 'battle royal of temptations' to avoid this place

Human-defined happiness and personal fulfillment cannot be found here

Serenity to God's will is the highest achievement to be found in Gethsemane

Emptying of our fleshly goals and selfish ambitions take place in Gethsemane

More of God is the golden discovery, and less of us is the greatest victory 

Ascension of God's Glory and the descension of our will are what happens here

Newness, restoration, repentance, resurrection, and revival are conceived here

Every part of our being and the deepest areas of our hearts are dealt with here
