Daily Thoughts - Into the deep.

"Yet just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down And do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, Giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me empty, but shall do what pleases me, achieving the end for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:10-11
Who is watering your garden? As it is lent, I took a little inventory of what is growing in my garden, along with the good seed is also the weeds. The things that cause me strife and soak up the goodness of God. It is so easy to get caught up in the weeds and if we are not careful they will consume the good rich soil that God works at preparing.
It takes moments of silence to listen to God speak within scripture to acknowledge that He is the One who will harvest. If we are listening and doing what He asks, the weeds can not take root. If we focus on the bad within our life, it will fill the garden. God will produce the yield He desires by allowing Him to feed the soul with the rain from Heaven. We must let it soak in before it can be effective.
Dear Father, You see all the garden, You send the rain and the snow, we must decide to listen to Your goodness in our lives. There is much to be thankful for as well as grateful for the blessings You pour out. You have an intention for life to prepare us for eternity with You. Fill our days with insights that bring about Your intentions. Prayers for a friend surrounded by weeds, may he see the goodness of God at work in His life and recognize the weeds. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, Pray for us.
