Christian Garden Concept

    People often use different words for expressing the same idea. For example, when we speak about the essence of being we use the word God, Source, Universe, Energy, Matter, Creator... The choice of expression depends on mental patterns, the way how we perceive the world. In other words, it comes from our beliefs system. And beliefs system is formed by our environment and repetitive impressions what we are constantly absorbing.
There is no way to judge someone's perception, but it is the way to plant a seed in order to grow it and harvest a fruit. The gardening concept it about growing, and growing is changing.
    Christian gardening is about changing: changing environment, changing attitude, changing you. 
The Bible has so many statutes and parables about seeds and sowing. The most famous are:
Matthew 13:4-5 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth... Matthew 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them...
     The Bible has a great content about gardening. It starts with a literal guidance and spreads to the way of existence, spiritual being. From that point every human soul is a Christian Garden.
And every seed of pure desire planted in it should be nurtured in a garden of YOU. To cherish the world that is yours and is mine.
