Matthew 13:23


23 ...... But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."


God wants us to hear, understand , and put into practice His counsel and His instruction. He doesn't see us as vaults, into which He hides His Word, but rather as gardens in which Word can sprout and grow.

So lets all cultivate our gardens that our Lord God has given us, pull out the weeds and bear good fruit.... me included.

Wonderful words and picture, Dusty!
You have encouraged me a lot!!! I have been recently meditating on (thinking about) this verse and now I see it here! Praise God!
May God bless us to produce much good fruit for the glory of His wonderful name. May all 9 fruits of the Spirit will grow richly in our hearts and lives.

Thanks, Tatiana and I have to say that you are also a blessing to me. This morning after reading that verse , I just had to come back and post it here and now I am happy I did.

Jesus is indeed the Master Gardener who prunes our branches , Holy Spirit is the One who leads and guides us.

Ha ha ..... I just went to comment on this post when a big crack of lightening hit and knocked my computer out. Do You think I was being told something ?

Got to go as it might happen again as we are having another thunder and lightening storm.

I agree, I wanted some nut trees but never got around to planting them. God gave me three. My brother planted two walnuts and the birds planted a hazel nut. Of course everyone thinks that I'm the nut but that's ok, I just smile and wave.
