THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
How's your garden?
With the recent spell of warmer weather and the risk of frost having passed, I've been busy in the garden. The runner beans that I'd started in the greenhouse have now been planted out. The different varieties of tomatoes I've grown from seed have been transferred into growbags. The peas which I'd started under glass are doing well in the garden, and I've sown some more in the veg beds hoping they germinate.
Different plants need different conditions to establish. Some need more water, others less. Some need sun, others shade. Some are OK with wind, others not. Some benefit from companion plants to help them flourish. As plants grow they may have different needs in order to thrive.
That speaks about our growth as Christians. When Jesus promised the gift of the Holy Spirit, He said the Spirit would lead us into truth. If we're not being led into a deeper understanding of God and into a fuller faith, then we're not growing.
What are we doing to find the conditions for ourselves that help our faith to grow?
