When you start a new spring season, new beginnings happen with new gifts, talents and a more defined calling can arrive. When you are led to start and try new things, you learn new things about yourself. You also begin to see that He has great plans for you. Have you ever been in a spring season that changed your life direction?

Today is about roots, growing and building a Faith in the Master Gardener even when you can't see the evidence yet. When that tiny seed is put in the ground, it does not appear for some time because it is working on digging deep with its roots into the earth. It is seeking water and nutrients to allow the plant to break the earth and reach for the sun. If the soil is hard or rocky, the roots can't grow and the plant will be weak and maybe even die before it even reaches the surface. Your Faith is built on this exact model. You plant your heart in the Lord and you begin to seek out the water and nutrients that He gives from His love and His Word. But, if you are holding onto some rocks or your heart is hardened by unforgiveness, or distractions from the enemy, or a lack of repentance, you don't allow those new roots to grow and they become weakened by the weeds crowding around you that keep you from growing. But, if you prepare the soil, allow the water and nutrients to come, you will break ground and begin to bear fruit as you grow. All of this root development is not seen, it is only upon Faith that you begin to trust and grow. Is there anything breaking that connection to the life giving water and nutrients that the Master Gardener has for you? How can you build and grow your Faith even in the things unseen?

Planting seeds of Faith could be in every season, but remember we are in the spring season where new beginnings and new seeds are being planted. These new seeds might be a new gift or talent or even refining a new purpose or a purpose you never knew you had. The Master Gardener has guidance and suggestions for you as you step out to plant and grow this new seed. The three scriptures help to guide you through the process of planting seeds of faith in your heart. Each small act matters no matter how tiny, it moves you one tiny step closer to a harvest season. A man reaps what he(she) sows. Galatians 6:7-9 What are the suggestions to begin to see your seeds grow and produce fruit?

This lesson has a story found in Isaiah 35:1-2 where we see that even the flower blooms in the desert. This is the promise that God will make the new thing happen, and it will be Beautiful. 🌸🌺 The result is that they rejoiced, shouting with joy and singing in joy. This is a reminder that He is in control and He has an amazing and unexpected plan for your life and to bring you joy and singing in this new season. ♥️🩷♥️
