July 13 - The Well Watered Spiritual Life -  - Dig Deeper - OutlineSpiritual growth is not an instantaneous event. It is a lifetime process. In a world full of instant gratification spiritual maturity is much more like gardening than landscaping. The landscaper can come in and rip out the old and instantly transplant in the new landscape. The gardener plants according to what the landscape allows. It takes a lot of weeding and pruning and transplanting to find just the right spot for the plant to grow in. And one bright sunny day, people will notice how beautiful the garde has become and the only glory will be found in the gardener who was faithful to stick with the plants and create a life worthy of great care. So be patient with your spiritual growth – the Gardener has you as a work in progress. |
