Our Gardener

*****

We all keep reaching higher –
Like a plant growing a garden,
sometimes the weeds get in the way and take all the energy.  
But when the weeds are removed
the plant can grow the way it was meant to grow …
It’s the same with God in our lives …
He is the one that will remove the weeds
and when we let him tend our garden,
that is when we grow the best …
God’s plan is to keep us growing and to keep us reaching …  
Karen Kostyla

In simple humility, let our gardener, God,
landscape you with the Word,
making a salvation-garden of your life.
James 1:21b The Message
