As someone who just can't keep a plant alive, I am deeply encouraged and impressed by those who know how to garden. I asked a friend who I know loves to garden for some tips for success and here's a couple things they mentioned.
-You have to tend to it daily.
-Plants need nourishment!
-You have to take your time with it.
-If you really want you your plant to flourish, you'll need prune it when necessary.
I couldn't help but think if I tended to my faith the same way my friend tends to her garden, I'd be in pretty good shape!
'I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.' ' John 15:5
