God Is a Gardener

In Genesis chapter 2, we’re told God planted a garden.

And then all the way at the end of the Bible, in Revelation chapter 22, we’re told about a river of life that flows through Heaven.

And on each side of the river is the Tree of Life.

John 15 tells us, Jesus says, “I am the vine, my father is the gardener.”

Gardeners are unique people. My husband is a gardener. If we have a plant that isn't doing well, I want to throw it away, but not my husband; he sees potential. He’ll take it down to his office and patiently care for it, make sure it has water and light. He’ll prune it. Until eventually he’ll bring it back upstairs, a beautiful, healthy plant.

It’s just like God. He sees us, He knows that there’s life in us, and He patiently gardens.
