This trail is enchanting to me partly because I walked with my wife on it when we were dating. If you think about places that are enchanting to you, I’m sure several places will come to mind. They may be a bit mysterious like this one. How did those vine maple trees just happen to grow like that right over the trail? Did they just accidentally happen or did someone meticulously guide them in that pattern. In this case, maybe a little of both.

The Bible talks about a mystery.

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:27

In this verse it doesn’t seem like there is anything accidental about this mystery. It sounds like God carefully planned to fairly share the ability to accept Christ into our lives. Let’s take advantage of the opportunity and see what enchanting results happen.
