The Gardener

Posted on by Marla

Early, he rises, and goes out into the garden, tending it with love and care
He begins to prune and dig in the earth, where…
He’s planted holy seeds…
Seeds of kindness and seeds of love, seeds of faith he’s planted there
Tilling the ground he works, listening to a gentle dove…
That’s singing in his garden…
Bursting out in a heavenly fragrance, the flowers all in bloom…
Showers of color, and butterflies flutter, among the gardener’s room…
Thriving trees, no sickness or disease, is found in this gardener’s domain…
He works full of love for his precious, holy seeds…bringing water and food the green, lush leaves, spring forth to shade the ground…
Birds sing, as squirrels run about, happy for the acorns they’ve found…
There’s no anxiety, no fear, no doubt, for the gardener takes care of these…
Live in the garden, where the faithful one is found…
Outside the garden you will only find, a place called Abandoned Town.
Abandoned Town is full of weeds, predators lurk, bringing evil deeds
There is only want and lack and terrible disease…no gardener to tend you there…
The place is full of rats and creeps, lurking in the dark you’ll weep…destruction on every street…Food is scarce and water polluted…Abandoned Town is for those recruited, to spend their lives in Hell…
Stay in the garden where the gardener lives, He’ll provide you with blessing and there you will thrive…live in the garden of life!
The gardener is Jesus Christ!

Isaiah 58:11 New King James Version (NKJV) The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
1 Corinthians 3:7 New King James Version (NKJV) So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Song of Solomon 6:2 New King James Version (NKJV) My beloved has gone to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed his flock in the gardens, And to gather lilies.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
