Today You will be with Me in Paradise  (Luke 23:33-46)
Crucified between two thieves, one mocking and abusing Jesus, the other honouring Him, and believing that Jesus would rise again! He said "Jesus, remember me when You come into your Kingdom". 

Jesus responded to this expression of faith by saying "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise" The word paradise comes from the Persian word paridaiza which means 'a walled garden'. 

Jesus invites us to that protective place of solitude within, as we spend time watering it for continued spiritual growth, with Jesus helping us to remove the weeds which spoil it. Paradise is where Jesus is.  May the Lord draw us into a place of deeper intimacy as we hunger and thirst for more..
