Garden Quote by Danielle Shroyer

“It’s worth noting, because the text just said the reason there was not yet a garden was because there was no rain and no farmer. But God does not make the human plant the garden. God benevolently begins the work, and places the human in the garden to maintain it.” quote by Danielle Shroyer
