Mending the Soil

Ok. So I quarantined myself today... nothing serious.... just a low grade temp last night. I think it's probably sinus mess. However, I always get frustrated when sick people come out in public to share their germs so I have prescribed uber liquids for today and will stay away from people. Also, there is no telling what I've been exposed to... the joys of public librarianship ;o) (I love my job though)


Anyway....I turned on the tv while I was eating my lunch of Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup w/ club crackers. :) I caught the end of a sermon being preached on the parable of the sower. He was talking about a "cultivated heart".

This reminded me of something a patron said a few months ago (about gardening):"You've got to mend the soil."


It takes work. We've got to seek Him, His word, and His will.


But He is faithful..... "And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You." Psalm 9:10


Our seeking will not go unanswered.


The preacher also mentioned the fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5, something which has been on my heart lately.


It is my prayer that He will mend my soil/soul and cultivate the fruits of the Spirit in me. All praise to Him for His wonderful faithfulness!
