If planted it will grow!
I love this time of year! Well… actunoally after the snow is melted. I love working in my yard and garden. I love planting seeds and watching them grow. It has almost become therapeutic for me. I love the quiet time when I can really think! Faith is also like the seeds we plant!
Alma 32: 21, 33, 37
” And now as I said concerning faith….faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. And now behold, because you have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good. And behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, (or as faith begins to grow) ye will say, let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up and bring forth fruit unto us.”
Unshaken faith begins with hope. We can have faith that our gardens will produce vegetables, faith in ourselves to do better, faith in our loved ones, faith in a better tomorrow and faith in Christ and His power to save.
I can’t honestly say that my faith has never waivered. At times the trials of this mortal life have caused me to doubt, possibly because I took my eye off of the fruit.
Death has no sting when I continue to nourish my faith in God’s plan by living a Christ centered life and looking forward to eternal life with my husband, children and loved ones.
Plant the seed of faith and find peace!
