I am listening to the heavy rain hit the roof this morning, watching as it falls against the window, and thinking of my sweet little garden, and feeling so blessed to know that God is taking care of it by His own hand this morning! He is so good to me!
Anyone who truly knows me, knows that I am NOT a farmer, and generally speaking, plants come to my yard to die .... That being said, in the fal...l, my husband and I decided to take the plunge and prepare a garden for the spring. We pulled weeds, put up fencing, laid down mulch, planted seeds, and then, we committed our garden to the Lord in prayer.
You may think it is silly to pray over a garden, but we have learned from much experience that the only way things grow in our yard is by the hand of our merciful God! ( Sad but true ) God knows that I am not a farmer, and I know that I am not a farmer, all He calls me to do is plant the seeds! With that in mind, we planted bunches of plants, realizing that only some would grow and bloom. Now, as I watch the rain, I can't help but look forward to the spring to see what God will do with my garden!
People are like a garden, they are waiting for YOU to plant the life bringing seeds of Jesus Christ that will potentially spring up into a beautiful kingdom plant! It is not up to us to decide where to plant our seeds. We are to plant kingdom seeds everywhere we go, knowing that God is the master gardener, and under His loving care, any seed can grow anywhere He chooses! We are only to plant the seed and pray for the harvest!
I am very hopeful for the seeds I have planted in love and will always pray for them! ~ May we never stop planting seeds and praying for the harvest! ♥
" I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. "
