Have you ever thought of your life as a garden? A place where God, the master gardener, is lovingly tending to your heart, helping you grow and bloom into the person he created you to be?

This is the beautiful metaphor that Max Lucado uses in his Kindle Single, Jesus Is My Gardener. Through personal stories, Scripture, and practical advice, Lucado shows how Jesus can tend to the soil of our hearts and help us grow into the people he created us to be.

The Soil of Our Hearts

Lucado begins by asking us to consider the condition of the soil in our hearts. Is it hard and compacted, making it difficult for God's Word to take root? Or is it soft and pliable, ready to receive the seeds of God's love?

The condition of our soil is determined by our thoughts, words, and actions. When we allow bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness to take root in our hearts, the soil becomes hard and compacted. But when we choose to fill our hearts with love, joy, and peace, the soil becomes soft and pliable, ready to receive God's Word.

The Master Gardener

Once we have prepared the soil of our hearts, we need to allow Jesus, the master gardener, to come in and do his work. He will remove the weeds, plant the seeds, and water the soil. He will help us to grow and bloom into the people he created us to be.

Jesus is the only one who can truly change our hearts. He is the only one who can give us the power to overcome sin and live in victory. When we allow him to be the gardener of our hearts, we will experience a transformation that will amaze us.

Practical Advice

In addition to providing a beautiful metaphor for spiritual growth, Lucado also offers practical advice for how we can cultivate a closer relationship with God. He encourages us to:

Spend time in prayer each day.
Read the Bible regularly.
Attend church and connect with other believers.
Serve others.

These are all simple things that we can do to help our relationship with God grow. When we make time for God each day, he will fill our hearts with his love and grace, and we will grow into the people he created us to be.

Jesus Is My Gardener is a beautiful and inspiring book that will encourage you to grow closer to God. Through personal stories, Scripture, and practical advice, Lucado shows how Jesus can tend to the soil of our hearts and help us grow into the people he created us to be.

If you are looking for a book that will nourish your soul and help you grow in your faith, I highly recommend Jesus Is My Gardener.
