Planting Seeds

Waiting in expectation to see if the seeds I planted will sprout and eventually bloom

March 27

I planted seeds in the garden this year. I am not sure if they will grow. Maybe the rain washed too many of them away. I can't see what is happening underground, but I am waiting in expectation. This is where God is speaking to me today. Waiting in joyful expectation for the blessings that are on the way. I can't see what God is doing in the hearts of people. I can’t see if the seeds I have planted in someone’s heart are germinating. I can't see what is happening in the spirit, just like I can't see what God is doing with my seeds. I planted verbena, Chinese forget-me-nots, Columbine and a few others. There is a good chance that not everything I planted will grow, not everything will bloom. I’m not worried. I am waiting in joyful expectation. Everyday I check to see if anything has emerged from the ground. Some weeds have started to grow, but I need to be patient. I need to leave them alone until the real flowers are strong or I will uproot the good with the bad. He is telling me to be patient. Just because I can’t see what’s happening beneath the surface, doesn't mean new life isn't about to burst forth. Wait in joyful expectation.
