A
Lesson in Gardening. Today, let us have a discussion about gardens.
Gardens, you ask? Yes gardens! See your heart as a garden. Is it surrounded by a fence, and how high might
that fence be? Is it an open, or a solid fence? Is there a gate, and is that gate open, or locked and inaccessible? You see, child, most hearts have a high
fence around them, and are not easy to penetrate to let love in or out, because of a locked gate. Then the question
also arises if that garden tended to and how. Is it cultivated or overrun by weeds, and how tenacious are those weeds? Let your imagination roam, and see in your
mind’s eye what your garden looks like. Does enough sunlight penetrate, as in positive thoughts, or is it dank
and dark because of negative thoughts. Can the flowers bloom because of the love, care and respect you give your physical
body and your surroundings, or are they wilting and in need of nurturing be cause of the love you withhold from yourself and
others? Jesus gave two commandments: To love God
first, then yourself and all others equally. Of course, you realize by now that I am not talking about selfish love
and the ‘hoarding of things’ behind the locked gate of your heart. No, I mean a respectful love, in which
you honor your mind and body by the thoughts you think and act upon, and the food you eat to feed your body-temple which houses
your spirit. The garden of your heart can be a riot of
flowers in various colors; a symphony of music when blended together harmoniously, and when you bring forth the fruits of
the spirit in loving tolerance and service towards all, in a forgiving and caring attitude, inspiring hope and confidence
in others, and being a comforting presence in hours of need. It is so very important to be an island of peace in this
confusing and perplexing world, where there are so many floundering souls seeking their way ‘home’. Tend your garden with care, and see to it
that the tenacious weeds of fear and anger, of envy and jealousy, of suspicion and intolerance do not take root in your garden,
because these weeds tend to overrun and choke the flowers of truth, beauty and goodness. Be ever vigilant and leave
the gate of your garden open, so others might find an easy entrance, and rest while their souls are being nurtured in your
presence. Be likewise alert for other gardens which present a joy to you, for these moments of refreshment are the relationship
builders of your solid friendships in the Hereafter. And child, remember that I live in your
garden. © The 11:11 Progress
Group. When
you are present in the moment, living through the heart, then the pulse finds only Love in you and expands your whole being,
bringing forth Loves Will, bringing increase to your creation of the perfect Love of God. All youve entertained
as less than Love disappears in the resonance of the open heart and everything that comes forth in this moment, this Now,
is only good, only joy, only wonder. So
I Am asking you to choose to experience the world as the source of Love, as the open heart of God that through the heart you
may find Love meeting only Love, and the miracle of life will be complete in you. Every dream of less than Love falls away
in the present moment that is rich with life. |
