Your identity is who or what you believe you are as an individual and is shaped by what or who you identify with.

Sometimes we need to apologize and be forgiven, other times we need to accept apologies and forgive. We must receive forgiveness from God, we must forgive ourselves and we must forgive others.

Because God values relationship, reconciliation is justice because of the cross. Jesus loves you so much, he would have died on the cross for just you. Reconciliation is made possible through forgiveness. God has already reconciled with His creation through the cross. Choose to be reconciled with God and others you encounter on a daily basis. The choice is now yours.

We choose to hear (Ask, Seek, Knock), he that has an ear to hear, let him hear. Paying attention to the truth (seed) making sure it is accepted not rejected. The Word (seed) will change us and our lives if we choose to hear, and understand, The Word and accept, and embrace, it as the final authority.

Staying aware of the needs that are around each of us, what seeds are available to sow and what ground is available to sow into can be challenging. Listen to find out the most simplistic way to discover true needs, seeds, and available ground.

Words are containers (seeds) with life or death in them. Gardening the heart involves: the seed we sow, the seed we allow others to sow, how we water those seeds, and how we allow others water those seeds.

All creation works on the seed principle. Listen and find out God’s divine design and how to apply seeds of faith (which produce life) and not seeds of doubt (which produce death). Do you want God increasing the seed you are currently sowing? – Think about it!
