God decides what will grow and what will not in His garden. He plants the seeds of faith, hope, love, joy, and happiness, but He relies on you to water, fertilize and care for what He has created.
God plants the seed in your mind that in the early stages appears as a foolish dream, a lofty hope of success and happiness. That seed is His plan for you.
Matthew 13:32 says, "Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
Only God decides which seeds will grow and which will wither or be eaten by the birds. Either way, each and every seed serves a purpose. The difference here is, God has given you the gift of choice. You are His seed and the gardener. How you grow depends on the choices you make, the care you give and your faith in His plan for you
Go and find a seed. Hold it in your hand. Close your eyes and create a vision of that seed growing. Play along with the vision and see the potential, the plan within. Fast forward seeing the flowers grow, die and grow again season after season through all the tomorrows it holds inside.
Right now God is holding you in His hand just like you held the seed. He closes his eyes and sees a vision of hope, success, happiness and as he fast forwards He can see the impact you will make on all the tomorrows you hold inside. God won't make those decisions, but you will.
