A Healthy Garden…

June 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

  It is very easy in life with a lack of understanding to overlook how we are to love others as we wish to be loved ourselves. Think about it! If you were to compare the people in your life to a garden would you find all different types of plants or would you only find one particular kind? What good is a garden if it does not have a diverse crop that yields all different types of harvest?

 Lets take this a little deeper to pull on a few roots of weeds that could be restricting God’s seeds. Why is it when we have a garden that we pay close attention to every plant in our crop but when look upon the people in our lives we tend to walk on by? Why is it that we will see that the plant in our garden gets what it needs to grow but when it comes to people we neglect what we know?

 Every plant requires love and nurturing to yield a future crop and it is when we neglect the plants around us that we can become stunted in growth. As we give is how we receive and it also shows in whom we believe…Amen

True Christianity…

May 31, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 True Christianity is loving someone for who they are and for what they should become. Like that seedling that sprouts to a tree each tree is to produce fruit of its own. Some trees produce fruit while some trees simply drop seeds. While others learn the importance of how to stand on their own for others to lean upon in their needs.

 When we learn to look upon people as a plant that has life this helps us to love as Jesus Christ. For Jesus plainly taught us how to love the wretched not merely for what he/she was but for what they they should become. It is very easy in life to look upon the physical but when we learn to stay focused on the spiritual is when God will show us things that we have never seen…Amen

Maturing With Christ…

May 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 We all start out as a seed that matures in the womb. Over time the seed produces a new life that will take root of its own. Not all trees mature in the same timing for each tree has its own season. Now the fruit of the tree teaches us a wise lesson, for the juice of the ripe apple is the same that was in the green fruit but with sun- light and sun- heat.

 As we begin to mature with Christ we can find that our lives are like that of a tree that is to produce fruit. For our life is to grow in the light of wisdom and softened by the heat of love. The most important factor to understand in our maturity is that we each mature in our own time and it is our responsibility to love one another. Learning to mature with Christ day by day is an awesome experience for we can taste the juice of the fruit getting better and better each day…Amen

Building Relationships

May 24, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

We all have something to gain from one another when we really take the time to stop and listen for what God has done or is doing in our lives. The Lord works with each one of us in many different ways in order to serve His purpose and not our own, but so many times we get caught up in the physical because we can’t see what is taking place in the spiritual.

It is when we allow the love of Jesus to bring us together through our open hearts that we learn to love one another for who they are… amen

Positive Seeds…

May 23, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very important to examine the deep roots of our intentions, our goals, and our life ambitions to insure the right spiritual seed that is guiding our path. This examination is not only important before we make our decisions but it is equally if not more important to continue throughout our commitments as we begin to build our relationships, our careers, and our missions in life.

Without God in front of everything we do, then it is only a matter of time before something could be lost. Rather than working to please ourselves we should be working to please God. For if we seek to please Him then surely we should be pleasing others. I challenge you to step up to the plate in what you have before you and learn to do the best in everything you do to show others how God is working through you…amen

For the spirit that we carry is contagious and it is wise to know the seeds that we plant…

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
