Before I get out of bed in the morning, I say the Lord’s prayer. Slowly, I am seeing that each “Thy will be done” is simply my “yes, Father, kindly work in my garden-self again today.”
“[God] gardens our souls . . . and makes them . . . like a well-watered garden; weeds out of them whatsoever is noisome . . . , sows and plants them . . . , waters them . . . , and makes them bring forth fruit. . . .” Lancelot Andrewes
“Their souls will be like a well-watered garden.” Jeremiah 31:12
