We have seen awesome pictures of vast fields of beautiful flowers captured by the camera and through the eye of a photographer. This is the picture Jesus was talking about where great masses of blooms just seemed to appear along the roadside and spread beyond the crests of the hills. Those fields in his story are in great contrast to our gardens where we toil over that very special specimen plant we just received.
Sure, we worry about how we dress and how we look when we go to church on Sunday; we want to look ‘religiously acceptable’. We need not worry about clothes; we only need to concern ourselves with the decision to pick up our cross and follow the Christ. Our souls lay naked before God but the Holy Spirit is busy spinning a garment of righteousness for us. We will be arrayed more brightly than all the fields of flowers on our trip through Christ into eternity with the Father.
As you walk the pathways of your garden will you share with someone how He has worked a mighty work in your heart, your life, your family, your job….? Garden tip: Flowers planted ‘in-mass’ are more powerful than a number of specimens planted randomly.
