God’s Garden

Have you ever been to a large city garden? Some of the favorite city gardens I have been to are the Portland Japenese Garden and Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. These are human created gardens and the beauty, order, intricacy and attention to detail are spectacular. Heck, go to Dollywood and find the beautiful attention to detail in the gardens there.

Think about God as gardener vs the human as gardener. God’s garden seems much more haphazard. You don’t have the neatly carved details of the bushes or the artistic designs of the way flowers are displayed. Still, the beauty of nature here on our planet is spectacular to survey. And, although I have loved those manmade gardens, I love God’s garden more.

Furthermore, if we more carefully observes God’s garden, we find that it is not as random or haphazard as we think. Each flower, each insect, the soil, the rock, the flow of the rivers, the way that the sun and rains give life to it all, every atom and electron within the living creatures in this world, the way the planets rotate and spin around the sun, all point to a creator that is a designer so great that He is beyond full comprehension. As the song by Chris Tomlin proclaims:

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God

Nature is a gift from God. Let’s take it in, be grateful, give praise and enjoy.

“Lift me to the light “”
“”Through the roof they broke “”
“”Faithful hands of love “”
“”In each word they spoke “”
“”Jesus sees my pain “”
“”His touch divine embrace “”
“”Lift me to the light “”
“”Heal me by his grace “”

“”Above the crowd, they climbed with might””
“”Through the ceiling, piercing night “”
“”Lowered down, my soul exposed “”
“”Before the one who loves the most””

“”Now I walk, my spirit free””
“”With grateful heart, on bended knee””
“”Friends who carried me that night””
“”Together, we are lifted to the light”
This is referring to Mark 2:3-11, where these men tear through the roof to lower their friend to be healed by Jesus.
“’When he entered Capernaum again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word to them. They came to him bringing a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts: “Why does he speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? ” Right away Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat, and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” #— #he told the paralytic — “I tell you: get up, take your mat, and go home.” Immediately he got up, took the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this! ””- Mark 2:1-12

COT: We talked about how we all make mistakes… even Albert Einstein!– but negative reinforcement can be a bit toxic, especially if the bulk of someone’s effort is excellent. Don’t let negative comments be the only feedback you give to people. Positive reinforcement can be much more motivating.
POINT #1 of the BOM: don’t keep the fear of making a mistake keep you from trying something, but…
POINT #2 of the BOM: don’t let negative feedback be the only feedback you give someone. Don’t take for granted all the good things they’ve done, whether it’s your spouse, co-worker, etc. Praise them for that. Don’t just correct them when they make mistakes.
