The Garden of our HEART
You are my private garden, my treasure.
As our Husbandman, the Lord will manage the garden of our hearts perfectly if we will allow Him to have His way.
It is important for us not to resist His work or to pray against the things He wants to do.
If we ask Him not to send the till, then the hardness in our hearts would not be broken and become receptive to the life-giving seeds He wants to sow;
If we ask Him not to send the dark clouds, then we would not receive the rains that are needed to keep our hearts from becoming dry and barren;
If we ask Him not to send the summer sun, then our hearts would not send our roots
of faith deeper into the soil of His love;
If we ask Him not to send the knife, then the branches of our hearts would not be pruned and be unable to produce the abundant fruit that will glorify Him;
If we ask Him not to send the strong winds, then our hearts would fail to send out the seeds that are needed to enrich the lives of others.
ALL He asks is for you to fully TRUST HIM, knowing HE will make it good. HE will perfect that which concerns you!
Our God Is Able!!!
God Sees The Little Things You Do
None of us can help everyone.
But all of us can help someone.
And when we help them, we serve Jesus.
The little things you do...
the sacrifices you make...
may not always be noticed by others -
but God sees every one of them and smiles.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23,24
