A newly appointed
pastor went to visit the home of a congregation member. Upon arriving,
the minister discovered that his host was an avid gardener and was delighted to
show his pastor around his lovely garden, a magnificent sea of green, purple,
blue, white, pink and yellow.
Wanting to set
their relationship off on both a positive and spiritual note, the pastor
remarked, “Praise God for the beauty of his handiwork!”
But his host
replied in a somewhat offended tone, “Now pastor, don’t go giving all the
credit to God. You should have seen this garden when the Almighty had it
to himself!”
The gardener’s
comment seems somewhat irreverent on the face of it, but there is a theological
truth in his perspective. Actually, God has designed this world in such a
way that HE works in partnership with US. And as we work in harmony with
Heaven, God’s objectives will be achieved on earth. Indeed, we are His
planetary stewards – not only over His entire creation – but over all our
allotted time, talent and treasure.
Invest yourself.
Sisters and
brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE
READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
