Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Harvest some from your own personal JOY
garden.
This week
we’ve focused on planting our JOY gardens by allowing the Master Gardener to
show us what to do to assure that the right kinds of things will grow in our
hearts. Your garden will flourish if you follow His instructions:
- Clean your garden plot by accepting Him as your personal Savior…and allowing him to remove the trash of unforgiveness from your heart. When we realize that God has forgiven us of all our sins…then it gives us a tenderness and new perspective toward those who need our forgiveness. We are reminded in Ephesians 4:32 to “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave you.”
- Plant the right seeds by reading the Bible and listening to good Bible teaching; attend church faithfully, study on your own and surround yourself by good, Godly examples.
- Once those seeds are planted, they need a constant watering. You can’t ignore them or they will wither and die. Be faithful in applying the “Living Water” to each area of your garden.
- Soon “harvest time” will come and you’ll be delighted to see how much JOY you’ll have in your heart when you share with others the fruit of your personal garden. They’ll begin to ask how they can have a JOY garden like yours…….and you will be able to boldly share the JOY of the Lord with them.
Diligently and faithfully open the garden of your heart to God. He will JOYfully tend it and teach you how to
cultivate and share His JOY with others.
