God loves being in His beautiful garden - our hearts!
"When you feel dried up and worthless, God will nourish you and give you strength. and you will grow like a garden lovingly tended; you will be like a spring whose water never runs out."
Isaiah 58:11 (VOICE)
We are like a beautiful walled garden with paths and fountains and plantings of fragrant flowers and shrubs that a Designer made long ago, but that had gotten overgrown with weeds, yet underneath it all the basic lines and beautiful forms and plantings remained.
And the garden designer, knowing the original design and still having it in his mind, simply cleared away all the rubbish and briars on those paths and walls and fountains, revealing once again the beautiful garden that was there all along, just hidden and covered over by weeds and debris. The real garden itself would come forth in beauty! The flowers would grow again and the fruit trees would flourish, no longer covered over or choked by vines and weeds. The fountains would flow and paths would show forth the beautiful design that was there all along, just hidden by rubbish and debris.
We can see that the garden is us and the weeds are the lies that have tried to cover our real self's beauty, and the designer God has through Christ taken away the lies and is revealing our true design and glory for all to see and enjoy!
A Thought: I am a beautiful garden made by God, and the fruit of the Spirit grows in me.
