Each month has a series of verses on a topic related to spiritual gardening with space to write out the passages and consider how they might relate to the topic and your own spiritual garden. This journal is meant to help you meditate on the parable of a spiritual garden and hopefully provoke some insight that will help you to garden well.

Have you ever thought of yourself as a garden? What kinds of plants are you growing? Are they growing well? As Jesus explains to his disciples, the seed is the word of God and the soil and its environment is the hearts of people. In this parable, seeds are scattered on different patches of ground and the results are not all the same. One of the parables Jesus told was the parable of the sower. Teaching through the use of parables provoked “the perplexity that leads first to wonder and then insight.” But insight, when it comes, is a swift penetration to the heart of the matter that bypasses normal routes of rational inference.” We climb succeeding tiers of evidence and arguments until we arrive at a conclusion.

Kerry Walters in his book “Growing God” says: “Head knowledge operates in a steadily cumulative fashion. Instead of speaking plainly so that his meaning was obvious, he chose to tell stories that required some thought to understand. The gospels record about 30 parables told by the Lord Jesus.
