“My Father is the gardener.” Jesus
God does more than look at the heart of His children, He works in it like a garden. His intent is to grow character in us, Christ’s character. Some of His gardening practices seem violent but one must break up the soil if it is to receive the seed. Even when the vines begin to grow, a good gardener prunes away unfruitful branches. These actions which seem harsh are in fact one of the greatest expressions of His tender affections. Conversations Within” ts 11/9/2014
