Only God And the Lord shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:11 When we want to grow a garden, We plant the finest seed, Then fertilize and water it, And dig out every weed. Then, when we've done all we can, The wait seems very slow; For in spite of everything we do, Only God can make it grow. We can learn much from our garden, Many lessons can be found: If we want to grow God's kingdom, We must first prepare the ground. Then we have to plant the seed, And water it with His word; Carefully root out all the weeds, Then leave it to the Lord. For none of us can change a life, To make it pure and new; And none of us can make it grow, Like only God can do. We have to wait upon the Lord, After we've done our part, Only God can make a garden grow, Only God can change a heart. © 2002 by Kathryn Brandon; all rights reserved This poem is my original work, and may not be used in any manner without consent.
