| Garden of the Heart |
|
D: This morning¡¯s Power for today reading is about the gardener¡¯s enemy, weeds.
V: That¡¯s why I don¡¯t like gardening. There are always too many weeds!
D: The author says that in the spring God awakens the ¡°slumbering landscape.¡±
V: ¡°Slumbering landscape¡± means a scene that has been ¡°slumbering¡± (or sleeping).
D: But quickly, the weeds can get the ¡°upper hand¡± (which means they can be doing better than the flowers).
V: Right. ¡°To have the upper hand¡± is an expression which means that someone or something has the advantage.
D: So, just like the gardener who tries to ¡°eradicate¡± (or get rid of) all the weeds, we need to give our attention to the ¡°cultivation¡± of a Christ-like spirit.
V: ¡±Cultivation¡± means to improve something through effort.
D: Right. The cultivation of a garden or a heart is not easy.
V: It¡¯s hard because Satan is a patient ¡°adversary¡± (or enemy).
D: True. Just like weeds, he is always ¡°lurking¡± (or hiding), and ready to put new weeds into our lives.
V: So, how do we stop him?
D: Didn¡¯t you read the whole Power for Today? The author reminds us that we have the Lord fighting for us.
V: And if the Lord is on our side, we don¡¯t have to ¡°throw up our hands¡± (an action one does when he is defeated).
D: Never.
V: Well, I still don¡¯t like gardening, but I will stay on the Lord¡¯s side. Have a good one.
D: You too. |
