Tending the Garden

Jesus told the story of a man who had a garden, and an enemy. While the man was sleeping, his enemy snuck into the garden and planted weeds. The weeds sprung up with the wheat, and the garden was a wreck.

Our local application: Our students are the garden, and the good things growing are planted by God. We need to tend the garden with passion, because there is an enemy who would love to plant weeds in the lives of our students. Feed those good growing things. Nurture those plants. Care for them. Guard those tender shoots with some aggression, because the weeds are going to destroy the work that God is doing.
