THE GARDEN

Posted on by William Rocky Brown, 3rd

It’s a “The Garden” Wednesday

LORD, GIVE US THE WISDOM AND COURAGE TO USE THE GIFTS THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. AMEN

Here’s a great story I found on a Hallmark card that was given to me years ago. It is entitled “The Garden.”

There once was a woman who longed to have a flower garden. Each year she would visit her neighbor, who had the most beautiful garden she had ever seen, and he would give her cuttings and seeds for her own garden.

But when she would return home she would change her mind at the last-minute saying, “But my neighbor’s garden is so much lovelier than anything I could hope to grow. And he knows so much more about gardening. I could never hope to grow a garden half so lovely as that. Why should I even try?” 

One day her neighbor stopped by her home and saw that she had not one flower growing anywhere around her house. 

“I’ve provided you with so much,” he said, “and yet you have done nothing at all with what I have given you!”

And so it is with each of us. The Lord gives us talents and expects us to develop them. We cannot judge our worth by comparing ourselves to others, but must bloom and grow the best we can with what we have been given. My prayer today is that each of you reading todays’ message may realize that each new day dawns for you another opportunity to use the gifts that God has given you to be the best that you can be.

  1. Gm, God Bless You, Thanks for opportunity to express my struggle with lunching out in the deep.
    I have a zeal for outreach ministry. I’m currently up under my local community chruch. The opposition is great. Sometimes I just feel like walking away from it all. But opportunity presents it self and I find myself, making things happening again. I wish others would share my passion but I find myself walking alone. How do you handle the loneliness in your dream?

    1. I remember the words of Jesus “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. God will bless you for the work you do. Keep doing it!!

  2. I am hosting a prayer breakfast in August and I would love to read this at my prayer breakfast, it ties in with my theme and it would be encouring words for the group that I am trying to reach.
    Thank you

  3. Good morning – I truly enjoy your messages each morning, I have been dealing with some issues on my job and your messages are truly encourging to me.
