Remove some things so you will have room to grow
I have an elevated vegetable garden. This is the first time I tried to grow cabbage. I used all the seeds I purchased. I planted them deep enough, put them in a good area for sun exposure, made sure I protected my plants from squirrels and other predators and watered them accordingly. I did everything I could to make my plants fruitful EXCEPT make sure they had space between them! They are blooming but they are cramped and smothering each other; unbeknownst to me they need everything I gave them but SPACE! I had to remove some of the browning dying leaves to give the other plants space to grow!
1) Too many seeds planted in one spot can “choke out” others and make the whole garden unprofitable!-we may need to help a ministry ,instead of planting the same ministry in the same area….spread out and take the gospel uniquely elsewhere. Matt 28:19-20
2) Do you have too many things going on at one time? Feel overwhelmed or spiritually tired? * every now and then NO or I can’t at this time is the perfect answer! Get rid of the thought process of being good at multitasking when all of your responsibilities are not done well. Doing things as you would do them unto the Lord means shoot for excellence not just participation!
3) Remove the clutter or the things that are “stunting” your growth. They will stay there as long as you let them until they choke you out or choke out your potential. Pluck them out-unforgiveness, other people’s opinion of you, envy, lust, love of money,, worrying,lack of getting rest to name a few!
I’m looking for a few good heads of cabbage now that I understand the vegetable tendencies, remove the clutter and gave them space…next time I’ll read the package first so my efforts will become more fruitful.
Amen
