The Eternal Gardener

image of pink and red geraniums

As I graduate from keeping plants alive to propagating them, I realise that the joy i experience is not unlike what God the eternal gardener feels for us.

Verse & Thoughts

Do you need to send Christmas cards last minute? Head over to my website (link in bio) to send a card to help friends and family know they are not alone even in lockdown. Spread joy!!
Merry Christmas! 
THE SON OF GOD BECAME A MAN TO ENABLE MEN TO BECOME SONS OF GOD.
Hi guys, I’m really excited to share with you these free printable posters that I made! I hope they bless you or someone you know with the knowledge of our identity in Christ! Link in bio.

I started making these for a friend who’s daughter is struggling with bullying at school and has developed eating disorders, and as I made them I realized that so many young people struggle with issues of identity and fall prey to the meanness that is out there in the world. So, I decided to share this with everyone because we can all use a reminder of who we really are. Print them on your home printer or use an online service for better quality prints that you can frame and put up on your wall.

I also take on custom orders so please feel free to send me a DM. A custom print could be great as a birthday, Christmas or anytime gift!
When you look back on your life line and the ups and downs of it, who or what has been your lifeline? 
To me it’s been my God. Dependable, constant, full of kindness and love. 
I pray that you can also know this constant lifeline that I know, because  nothing in this world can compare.🤗🌸

Then Jesus said, “I am light to the world and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.”⁣
⁣
The Pharisees were immediately offended and said, “You’re just boasting about yourself! Since we only have your word on this, it makes your testimony invalid!”⁣
⁣
Jesus responded, “Just because I am the one making these claims doesn’t mean they’re invalid. 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘐 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘢𝘮, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨. But you Pharisees have no idea about what I’m saying. For you’ve set yourselves up as judges of others based on outward appearances, but I certainly never judge others in that way. For I discern the truth. And I am not alone in my judgments, for my Father and I have the same understanding in all things, and he has sent me to you.⁣
⁣
“Isn’t it written in the law of Moses that the testimony of two men is trustworthy? Then what I say about who I am is true, for I am not alone in my testimony—my Father is the other witness, and we testify together of the truth.”⁣
⁣
Then they asked, “Just who is this ‘Father’ of yours? Where is he?”⁣
⁣
Jesus answered, “You wouldn’t ask that question if you knew who I am, or my Father. For if you knew me, you would recognize my Father too.” (Jesus taught all these things while standing in the treasure room of the temple. And no one dared to arrest him, for it wasn’t yet his time to surrender to men.)⁣
.⁣
JOHN 8⁣
.⁣
Two things that stood out to me and challenged me to watch out for in this passage:⁣
1. A judgemental attitude like the Pharisees only sees the outward appearance of a person and judges them accordingly. Something social media is all about. It’s also something we all fall into on a regular basis in our day-to-day. ⁣
2. Jesus KNEW his identity. He declared it straight off the bat without hesitating. When the enemy tries to question who you are, know who you are and give it to Him 😁💪🏾⁣
Stay strong people!⁣

Praise God from whom all blessings flow⁣
Praise Him all creatures here below⁣
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts⁣
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.⁣
.⁣
I will offer a sacrifice of praise, I know it's gonna cost me⁣
The cost is not greater than the cross where you bought me⁣
I was lost and you sought me, I was ignorant, you taught me⁣
I was impotent against my enemies, you fought for me⁣
I exist for your glory, never for mine⁣
I know I never would shine if it wasn't for your spirit inside⁣
You made me alive when I was dead in trespasses⁣
The passion of Christ left my sin in the past tense⁣
Every good and perfect gift comes from your hand⁣
You set me back on course when I run from your plan⁣
No excuse to refuse to lift my voice⁣
Because the gospel is true, there's always reason to rejoice⁣
And that don't mean that my sorrow is inconspicuous⁣
But when I grieve, I got a greater joy in the midst of it⁣
The joy of knowing I will see you face to face⁣
And it's all to the praise of your glorious grace⁣
⁣
Oh God full of glory and grace⁣
Open in me a fountain of faithful praise⁣
Let it flow from the depths of my heart like great lakes⁣
Let my soul be the sweetness that spreads its fragrance⁣
Save me from the love of the world that you created⁣
More than the God whose beautiful hands made it⁣
Bring me from pride and consecrate me⁣
Make me feel the weight of my sin, sorrow and safety⁣
Let me sing with the saints of your great salvation⁣
And join in the songs of all creation⁣
Let the winds obey, the oceans wave, the mountains cave⁣
Let every star you placed display grace⁣
Let my speech do the same as the skies proclaim⁣
Let everything that has life and breath bless your name⁣
Let the earth be the stage where all creation aims⁣
To heaven in endless praises and adoration⁣
.⁣

Our New Life in Christ⁣⁣. ⁣
◗ If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard his truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!⁣⁣⁣
⁣And he has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self - life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions. ⁣⁣
◗ Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with him! For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true holiness. So discard every form of dishonesty and lying so that you will be known as one who always speaks the truth, for we all belong to one another.⁣⁣⁣
⁣◗ But don’t let the passion of your emotions lead you to sin! Don’t let anger control you or be fuel for revenge, not for even a day. Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the Devil, an opportunity to manipulate you! If any one of you has stolen from someone else, never do it again. Instead, be industrious, earning an honest living, and then you’ll have enough to bless those in need.⁣⁣⁣
◗ ⁣And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them.⁣⁣⁣⁣
◗ The Holy Spirit of God has sealed you in Jesus Christ until you experience your full salvation. So never grieve the Spirit of God or take for granted his holy influence in your life. Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity, and insults. But instead be kind and affectionate toward one another. Has God graciously forgiven you? Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ’s love.⁣⁣⁣
