Heart Gardens (Ep.5)

Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockel shells and pretty maids all in a row.

Dear heart, your heart quite contrary, how will this garden grow?
With thought raindrops, Love’s gazing rays and wielding your shield and bow.

  • Whatever is inside our hearts grow - whether it’s truth or not. Our hearts are soil. Our hearts have all these types of soil and we can co-tend our heart gardens with the Spirit to increase the good soil that produces beyond our wildest dreams.

  • 1st soil - the Road: love and truth landing here will stay on the surface when the birds will eat it and Satan will snatch it away.

  • 2nd soil - Gravel: no roots, not deeps; this heart quickly responds to Love and Truth but when emotions wear off and difficulty comes amounts to nothing.

  • 3rd soil - In weeds: worry, illusions about geting more and wanting everything, overwhelmed about all the things to do, all the things they want to get and this stress strangles.

  • 4th soil - Good: hears, taken in the News, embraces it and produces beyond your wildest dreams.
