The Gardener

Whenever we think of a garden, we always do visualize a place full of trees and plants with beautiful flowers and fruits. Such a beautiful garden can be maintained only by removing the bushes and throns. The Gardener will always look for some fruits and flowers in each plant. He cuts off the plant, when he finds it no more yielding.

In the same way, God has created each one of us expecting some kind of fruit in us. A plant cannot yield without rooting on the ground, without water, without sunlight.

Jesus said "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener... Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."

Being grounded in Christ, drinking the living water and letting His face shine on us, we can live a fruitful life. Together, we can be a beautiful garden for The Gardener.
