Since it was my "off day", I had planned to plant some tomatoes and chilli in the garden. Went to the store and got some fertilizer, shovel, gloves and etc. to get to work. When I looked at the ground, I realised that there was a bush plant next to the place where I wanted to plant my plants. It had to be first of all removed. Then I realised the ground where I have intended to plant was not fertile enough, I had to mix fertilizer into the ground. Only then can I plant my tomato plants and chilli plants. Even then it will take a long time of watering, and caring before i can actually see some fruits.
Similarly, many of us want to see immediate fruits in our spiritual lives, when in fact we need to do many other things before it happens. First of all sinful lifestyle, habbits and behaviors need to be cut and removed, secondly the foundation of the WORD needs to be laid and finally, the planting and fruiting takes place.
I thank God for this experience...
