My favorite part of The Secret Garden

Current mood: excited

I finished up The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett today. Before I return the book to my local library, I wanted to share my favorite part with you all modified slightly (italics below). When I read it I thought of Jesus, and so that is how I modified this ...

"The sun is shining --- the sun is shining. That is because of Jesus. The flowers are growing --- the roots are stirring. That is because of Jesus. Being alive is because of Jesus --- being strong is because of Jesus. Jesus is in me --- is in me. He is in me --- He is in me. He's in every one of us that are adopted as his children. He covers all our weaknesses. Jesus! Jesus! Come and help!"

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:16-17)
