given

receive God’s free gift daily, treasure Him in your heart, and as the life of God grows in you, it will multiply into an orchard of good fruit

look at the seed—it in itself contains the potential to become the plant (even the fruit!), but it must take time. it must take air, must water, must sunshine. & if it be submitted to this process of receiving & rest, growth will grow.

submit to Design & with time, submission will multiply into growth, into gifts to give others—shade, fruit, a home.

so become in the secret quiet. let the Designer take His time to make you fully Thine. discover the sweetness in trust & you will yourself become sweet.

receive the gift daily. receive rain. receive sun. receive clear goodness and the things given from above.

yield & allow Him to prune off all but what He gave—all but the seed—& you will be a pure, perfect bride of love, light—committed & consecrated, set-apart & all together lovely, for Him.

be His. & that which is planted, that which is given in you, will grow.

by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.

2 Timothy 1:14

for land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, & produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

Hebrews 6:7
