Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s chocked full of
nutrients because it comes from a totally organic JOY garden.
We’ve heard
a lot about organics in recent years. There are “organic” sections in our grocery
stores for those who are striving to eat healthier. Organic gardening means doing things the
“natural” way…. not using synthetic products, including pesticides and
fertilizers. Ideally, organic gardening replenishes the resources as it makes
use of them.
Think about
your spiritual garden. We know we must
prepare our gardens by clearing away the weeds and trash; then comes the
planting and watering the good seeds. We should be sure that we are working in
cooperation with God…the Creator, who “In
the beginning(God) created the heavens and the earth.…” Genesis 1:1.
We are not to use any “products” on our garden that would
interfere with God’s best plan. Often
we take charge and try to fix things when our garden isn’t producing like we
think it should. We try to find ways to
make it flourish; but often, we mess up the plan and get in the way of God’s abundant
crop.
The Bible, God’s instruction manual, gives us
“tried and true” tools which will help the seeds of faith to grow in our
hearts. Sometimes the Master Gardener
throws compost onto our garden that we don’t like! It stinks! But after a while, we realize that it has
helped those seeds to sprout and blossom into creations of beauty….JOYful
outgrowths of something that at first was ugly and unwanted.
Allow God to plant your garden….then get ready to
share the delicious fruit of JOY with others!
