“This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man throws seed on the land. Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake, the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know. Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the crop is ready, he loses no time: he starts to reap because the harvest has come.” – Mark 4:26-29
I love Jesus’ gardening imagery.
I love the freedom he gives to our growth. I also love the mystery. We don’t know what he’s growing in us either.
I love to just sit in my prayer with him and let him tend the roots of the tender things. It’s so intimate.
