Garden of Goodness

I love this time of year when the trees are getting their leaves back and gardens are being planted with all sorts of vegetables.  I love to see the multi-colored flowerbeds and the grass turn green. It’s spring and life returns to the vegetation that we see all around.  I learned a few years ago about “annual” and “perennial”.  The “annual” plant lives it’s life in one growing season. The perennial, under normal conditions, lives several growing seasons.  The Lord uses the plant analogy multiple times throughout scripture to describe our journey of faith.

Every day that I live, I’m sowing seeds. I’m either sowing seeds of goodness and love, or seeds of harm and hatred. It’s my choice each day which seeds I will sow. My life example is also sowing seeds. I want my life to bear fruit for Creator God. I want people to notice Him because of my choices and me. I want to trust Him with my life decisions every single day.  I want my life to produce much fruit for the Kingdom of God.
