Every garden is a prayer, an expression of our relationship with God. Seeds and sprouts are planted in the nutrient-rich soil and we must tend our garden by watering, weeding, supporting, and nourishing the fruits, vegetables, and flowers. We cooperate with nature’s processes, and there is little we can do to control or predict the burdens that may harm our garden’s growth. The garden will face storms, pests, weeds, drought, or neglect, but like our relationship with God will flourish when tend to it. We cannot simply hope that our garden will flourish, we must grasp on to hope and accept challenges so that our garden will provide the growth necessary for a bountiful harvest. Be a gardener of your relationship with God.
