Growing Your Garden (Part 6): Are You the Right Soil?

one of the most difficult of the parables that many have tried to comprehend
is the parable about the seeds that God desires to plant in the hearts of men
what is it that God seeks to sow in our minds and in our hearts?
what are the pearls of wisdom that He is attempting to impart?

are you the right soil organic and full of life?
are you that good soil that will enhance the gospel of Jesus Christ?
there's a big difference between mere dirt and enriched earth
one is full of substance while the other is dying of thirst

to grow a spiritual garden you need to know if the good soil is in you
if you desire a crop of righteousness to come sprouting through
when your love for the Lord God arises out of the blue
in tune with the Holy Spirit that now dwells within you
jumping for joy and giving God all the praise
that the seeds of His wisdom planted in you will now be raised
letting the word of God in you prosper a goodly amount
letting the seeds of holiness take root in you where it most counts

now embedded with the seeds of sanctity that will make your garden grow
prepared for the word of God to bear good fruit you hope to harvest and now sow
with the ability to comprehend the subtle language of the Lord God
with ears to hear and God's understanding now planted in your heart

do the seed of God's wisdom in you take root and hold?
are you growing a garden with a faith fearless and bold?
are you that soil which is truthful, Godly and right?
will the seeds of God's word now planted in you flourish with delight?

Beautiful words that ring full of truth. Amazing I just got through watching a sermon by Jesse Duplantis and that is the same thing he was preaching on, maybe God is trying to tell me something. God Bless. Ron

He is like a tree planted by the river of water giving forth his fruit in season. He shall not wither. Love your thoughts put to pen. Sara
