I treat it like a garden

I treat it like a garden I have been graciously given the gift of life and from my relationship with the Lord reading His word learning of Him and His ways I treat it like a garden I cherish and labor in maintaining the soil ( self examination) following instructions from the word of life ( being renewed in the spirit of my mind with the word of God ) I water it feed it daily and do what I know from scripture to maintain it all and to keep the garden growing blooming bringing forth new life and harvesting the fruits . 

Some times I pull away from people conversations social media to be refilled and refreshed or just to kind of fast from it all . 

The foundation we build on is Christ and we must build how He says . Many like the Pharisees look for the kingdom of God to come and Jesus said it's not coming by observation the kingdom of God is in you.  

Many still don't realize we are not here to live according to the course of this world or our own ways plans dreams goals Jesus said lose your life for His sake and then we will find it . He who tries to save his life will lose it he who loses it for Christs' sake shall find it

It comes down to desire with a lot . Some lack desire some simply lack faith and trust . Without faith it's impossible to please God. And without trust faith will be conditional in God.
