HEAVEN'S GARDEN

Beautiful Weeds

Your personal garden is a place of beauty, safety, and prayer.  A place where God’s presence can dwell.  The flowers that we grow are determined by the condition of our own hearts.  My children always love the first signs of spring.  They want to go in the grass and pick all the beautiful dandelions out the yard and give them to me.  Of course, their intentions are pure and sweet.  Never the less, I do not want a bunch of weeds brought into my house.  I explain to them that even though they look beautiful, they are not good for the grass or for us. They make Mommy’s eyes itch!  Some of you might think this is cruel. Just let the kids pick the beautiful weeds, but I think it is important to know the difference between the real and the counterfeit.  How many times to we let things into our spirit because it looks good, sounds good, tastes good, smells good, or feels good?  Everything that appears to be good, isn’t good for us. God’s creation is filled with glorious beauty, but there is an enemy of our souls that wants to pervert God’s goodness with polluted counterfeits and seeds of unrighteousness.  Have you ever noticed how there might be one dandelion in the lawn one day, but by the next day the entire grass is full of them?  It doesn’t take long for the weeds to overtake the whole yard.  This is also true with unholy things that we let into the gardens of our hearts.  If we don’t address them quickly, we can be overwhelmed with a takeover. The good thing is that our redeemer lives! God’s word says that we must test the spirits.  I challenge you to ask God what He sees in your heart that might appear good but isn’t good for you.    Give it to Him.  Let Him deal with you and repent.  He will not only restore your garden, but replace it with a beauty beyond what you thought was good!

                                                                                                                                                      

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Read James 1

 

Father, we thank You that every good and perfect gift comes from You. Thank you for the beauty of Your Holiness.  Thank You that we have access to Your goodness and that the Holy Spirit gives us discernment on what we should and shouldn’t let into the garden of our hearts.  Show us the places where we have settled for counterfeits.  Forgive us and fill our lives with Your glory. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!

    I am a married, mother of six. My desire is to see the brokenhearted healed, the captives set free, and gifts and callings activated by the power of God through prayer and prophecy.
