He sows
He nurtures
He strolls through His garden
Looking for fruit
Any kind of progress, brings great joy to His heart
Every little step towards righteousness
Brings a smile to His face
He is thrilled when he sees the seed sprout
His garden is full of different trees
He expects a return on His investment
Yet sometimes…
He finds no fruit
It breaks His heart
He keeps giving the tree a second Chance
next year, maybe…
more water, maybe…
A Little encouragment may help … (The unfruitful fig tree Luke 13:6-19)
Yet some trees just won’t bear fruit
He is left with no choice but to pluck them out – (The fig tree Matt 24:32-35)
And invest in the other trees that do bear fruit
The fruit of righteousness
The fruit of the Holy Spirit
Oh that He may find fruit in me.

Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven
So He was saying, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
