I just found this and it says it is a park in Colorado springs ... Called Garden of the Gods.

Remember what the Apostle Paul said; "some sow, some water but God provides the increase"...(I know you could find this scripture if you look for it; I quote without leaving addresses a lot; sorry.)

I believe that we are all well-watered gardens cultivated by the Master Gardener and watered by the well-springs of LIFE in Christ Jesus.

I love the imagery of the garden; especially that it was in the Garden of Gethsemane where Our Lord planted the seeds of self-sacrifice unto redemption.

I believe He also expects to see the fruits of His labor!!! Let's grow!!!

It was so nice to see this post today, as I was out pulling weeds in my garden this morning and God was speaking to me. I don't remember ever being able to say that, but He just kept planting these thoughts into my heart.

We all have weeds in the gardens of our lives. If we don't pull them somehow, we will get all "caught up in them." We will not be able to see our flowers. This could be our fruits?

Some weeds come out easily; others are harder and we need a tool to help loosen them (God's Word and authority?) We always need to remember not to rely on ourselves, our own strength to pull these hard-to-get weeds out of our hearts and minds. We must use our tool, God's strength, not our own.

It's hard work, pulling out all the weeds, but when we are done, it's time to sit back, sip a cold drink, and enjoy our view. That's our reward.

Bonnie.... I love that. especially some weeds are harder than others and it is so true in life. As we think of the struggles we have eah one of us has different weeds to to pull out but like you said the results are worth it as we grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. He indeed is the Master Gardener as we yeild to His gentle touch. Praise His name.
