Before you see the bloom,
There's the dirt.
The seed buried deep beneath the soil.
Unless you planted it,
You won't know what it'll bloom.
Take a breath and imagine a garden and all the seeds planted in a row.
They've been nurtured,
Cared for,
Provided with adequate water and sunlight,
And the soil is optimal.
Continue breathing and imagining this garden.
Now the leaves are breaking through the surface,
But it's not quite a flower,
And no fruit is coming forth yet.
Now imagine,
Inside of you,
There are seeds.
Seeds God has planted in your good soil.
He's nurtured them with sunlight and water.
He's guaranteeing the harvest will be plentiful.
Are you able to wait for the fruit?
Because you see in God's garden,
He guarantees good fruit.
Nothing you've been through will go to waste.
God will take your heartache,
Your disappointment,
Your pain,
Your rejection,
Your fear,
And He'll plant a seed.
A seed that,
If you keep Him first,
Will provide a bountiful harvest of fruit.
Take a moment and imagine all of the seeds within you.
God,
I pray that everything this person has been through has landed on good soil,
And in time it will blossom into something beautiful.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
As you leave this meditation,
Remember to keep your soul ready for planting.
Your harvest will soon come.
