Seeds of Spring: Eine 40-tägige Reise für FrauenBeispiel

Planting and Tending Your Garden SEED OF TRUTH Read Philippians 1:3-11. Conclude your study by reading the following poem. A Garden of Righteousness by Susan Sampson, Thistlebend Ministries Now is the time, now is the season; For the glory of God, that is the reason. Now is the time, time to uproot; The sin in our heart, that we may bear fruit. Our hearts are dry and crusty ground; Nothing of beauty is there to be found. Weeds of selfishness, laziness and pride abound, Nothing worthy of a crown. Lord, this is certainly not your vision; This dry and ugly weed-infested garden. A well-watered garden is your perfect plan. The display of your splendor to show all of man. Father, help me, I can't do this alone; Look at all of the weeds that have grown. Please help me break up the ground of my heart. Yes - the word of God is where to start. For God's words are the seeds I now must sow; Yet it is only God who can make things grow. I must sow the word in my heart and mind; And meditate on God's law day and night. I must plant in my heart seeds of righteousness; The Lord will bring the beautiful harvest. We will reap the fruit of unfailing love If we don't grow weary or give up. Like a well-watered garden our hearts will be; Like a spring whose water runs so free. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; Oaks of righteousness for His delight. So seek first His righteousness and plant those seeds; Cry out to your Father in true humility. The reward will be so fragrant and sweet Beautiful blossoms - love, joy and peace! Praise be to the One who alone can grow! Praise be to the Lord - For the crop He has grown; A hundred times more than what was sown! Congratulations! You have completed Seeds of Spring .
