Build Your Life Around the Bridegroom

Laura welcomes Jenny duBay, founder of Create Soul Space and facilitator of support groups at Hope's Garden. In this first of many conversations to come, Laura and Jenny share how the Fleetwood Mac song, "Landslide", has had a profound impact on their healing from domestic abuse. Like many of the women they minister to at Hope's Garden, Laura and Jenny realized that they were afraid of the changes the Lord was asking them to make because they had built their lives around fallen men rather than the Perfect Gentleman, Christ the Bridegroom.

You Are God's Dwelling Place

God is not outside of you just observing your life. He dwells within you. The Lord goes where you goes, experiences what you experience, and loves you in every moment. You are God's dwelling place. Laura reads and reflects on a passage from the Song of Songs chapter 3. We can understand this passage as describing not only the Temple of Solomon but also the temple that St. Paul says we are. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. So glorify God in your body". Corinthians 6:19-20 Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him." John 14:23 Learn more about Christ the Bridegroom at Hopesgarden.com

Becoming an Enclosed Garden Heart

What does it mean that the Bridegroom calls His bride an "enclosed garden" and a "fountain sealed"? And what do His words have to do with the Catechism's teaching on prayer? Laura reads to us from the Song of Songs chapter 4 and applies these verses to the Catechism of the Catholic Church's teachings on the heart and prayer.
