God the Master Gardener

The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east and there He placed the man He had formed.  Genesis 2:8 ESV 

This verse spoke volumes to me as I have been gardening for about a year now.  The garden is planted and then the gardener nurtures and tends the soil for growth.  

God is the master gardener. He planted those first seeds for growth.  We were planted to grow into His image bearers. The seed is planted in us and if we seek the Living water, Jesus Christ, we will grow in spiritual maturity in Christ.  

I realize we all are in different paths of our faith walk and for a very long time I was seeking bad soil and running away from the light.  Maybe you are too? Maybe you are wondering how to grow? 

Let me share today that God the Father who created the world in 6 days is the God who desires for us to still walk with Him.  So no matter the place of maturity you are in just come to Him.  He isn’t disappointed in you. 

Growing means seeking God daily in relationship. How? 

Read His words. They are the only truth in life. 

Pray for guidance and let His Spirit lead you. 

Wait.  Wait for the sprouts of fruit to fill your heart like the joy knowing God loves you no matter what, peace knowing even when you don’t understand God is with you and is all knowing and the love that doesn’t leave you or condemn you.  

Our lives were made for growth and to share it with those around you.  

Do you see the Gardener in your life planting seeds?    He wants to tend to you and nurture you too.  

Have a blessed day friends😘
