Whatever you water will grow. Each thought is a seed. You can’t control which seeds decide to land in the garden of your mind; they arrive on the winds of life without permission or warning. Water the fear, and the fear grows like a hydroponic plant in a sun-drenched greenhouse. Water the truth, and you find yourself in an increasingly sustaining state of hope, joy, and serenity. It’s a choice. I know it doesn’t always feel like a choice, and it is a practice that you will grow over time with patience and commitment, but in the end, it is a choice: to allow fear to run the show or to take the risk and open your heart to love. “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” – Ephesians 4:15-16
Are you growing? Are you watering the truth in your life? Remember you are a flower. Don’t water your problems, ineffectiveness, your doubts and your fears. Just a thought.
Be Blessed,
