The Ultimate Gardener, Transplanter, Hope Giver!

As spring has sprung I am thankful. The Lord is doing new things within me, within my heart also, uprooting what is not of Him, beginning to transplant into my own garden heart His plants of righteousness, His plants of forgiveness, His plants of compassion…. These plants will flourish in my heart, not because of anything within me, but because of Him, because of who He is, and because of what He does in each of our hearts, bringing beauty, bringing healing, bringing redemption, grace, and joy.

Praise God I am not the one who has to uproot and try to transplant what is not of Him… I don’t like actual dirt under my fingernails.

But…

God is the ultimate gardener, transplanter, hope giver.

Thank Jesus I can trust in the One who is making each of us more the reflection of Jesus.

I encourage you to reflect on the below passage as you consider what the Lord is doing in your own life, in your own heart. What is he trying to uproot that is not of Him? What is He trying to plant in the garden of your heart? Allow Him access and ask for His help in the process!

John 15:1-4 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me”

Be encouraged today friends!
