Faith In Between

How is our heart a garden?

• It is where we grow things from.  
• God created a garden when he first created the world.  It was filled with trees that produced fruit and he left Adam to tend to it and care for it. 
• Genesis 1:8-9 “ Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he played the man he had made.  The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground- trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit.  In the middle of the garden he played the tree of life and the knowledge of good and evil. 
• I want us to picture our hearts and all its content as a garden that needs to be tended.  
• It is unique and special to each person and only us and God knows its contents and knows the best way to tend to it.  
• Genesis 1:15- The Lord God placed the man in the garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. 
• This is just like our hearts and the job God gave to us to care for it. 
• Galatians 5:22-23: But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love , joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.  There is no law against these things!

Weeds in our gardens 

• We all have weeds in our gardens in our hearts
• What are WEEDS?
• Definition:  A plant that is not valued where it is growing and is usually of vigorous growth, especially:  one that tends to overgrow or choke out more desirable plants.  (Merriam-Webster dictionary.com) 
• Galatians 5: 19-21:  When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear:  sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, another sins like these.  Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.  

Tending to our hearts gardens

• I worked on a farm for 3 years 
• In order for plants that you want to thrive  and survive you have to pull out/ de root the weeds in the garden.  
• The weeds in our hearts are not different and will cause the same effect as they do in an actual garden 
• When our gardens aren’t tended to properly we cannot expect ourselves to give what christ needs us to give, and do what he intended for us to do. 
• Galatians 6: 4-5:  pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.  For we are each responsible for our own conduct. 
• Focus on our own gardens and don’t worry about what the other person is or even isn’t producing. 

Start growing your hearts garden according to His will

• Ephesians 5: 22-24:  Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.  Instead, let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.  Put on your new nature, created to be like God- truly righteous and hol

Whats your Anchor Scripture

What is an Anchor scripture?

• Remember getting an email
• Blog post about having an anchor scripture
• Definition 

What is my anchor scripture?

• Jeremiah 29:11:  For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, “ They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”  

How did you get this scripture?

• Spent time with Christ
• God revealed it to me through the things I would encounter
• I intentionally searched for Gods voice in my day to reveal to me what it could be. 

Why does this scripture serve as a good anchor in my life?

• God is speaking directly. 
• It gives me assurance when I feel unsure of my circumstances 
• Because I worry so much a bout the future sometimes it get me past the point of anxious, but this scripture reminds me that Christ knows my future.
• I can always have hope in Him.  

How to find your anchor scripture

• Read your bible (randomly) and find which verse(s) stands out to you the most. 
• Write them down. 
• Re-read them to yourself daily 
• Look for confirmation in your days
• Take notice which one comes up throughout your day when you need guidance. 

Things to think about while searching 

• Don’t stress over this, seek God and He will reveal it to you.
• Chose one that you feel confident in, that brings your peace and encouragement when you read it. 
• Memorize!!! Biggest key to this is to memorize your life verse, it will be there always when you need it the most and the only way it will always be there is if you memorize it and keep it in your mind and your heart.  
• Use it ALL the time!! 
• Never underestimate the power of Gods word!

Do you think your beautiful?  What does beauty even mean and where do we get the idea of how beautiful we are?  Just like every other women in the world I too struggle with the way I look and the way I feel about myself.  Its hard as we live in a world that screams at us to be MORE then ourselves, and making us feel as if we are not good enough EVER.  I struggled with feeling NOT beautiful my entire life and have some how managed to finally see MYSELF as beautiful.  How you ask.. join me in todays episode as we unpack all of this and more.  I hope to be with you in this episode. 

Key verses in this episode
1. John 7:24: Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.
2. 1 Peter 3:3-5:  Don't be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.  You should clothe yourself instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quuiet spirit, which is so precious to God. This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful.  they trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands.  
3. Jeremiah 29:11:  For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.  
4. Ephesians 2:10:  For we are Gods masterpiece.  He has created us a new in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
