Today's Verse

"Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." - I Peter 1:13

Have you ever tried to plant a garden? Think about the process that goes into it. The various packets of seeds you so eagerly sow into the ground. You carefully make a bed for each packet, and drop the seeds in one by one. They are then nurtured with water and sunlight. Several weeks later, a few of the packets didn't bloom. You look at the packets again, and notice that a few of them are outdated. Our thoughts are like the seeds planted in the garden of our mind. Good thoughts are healthy seeds that can blossom into incredible things. Bad thoughts are like expired seeds that will never have a chance to develop. Remember that everything good comes from God's loving heart. Our thought process not only touches us, but, others, too, in the way that we live. So, keep your focus and hope upon God. Let him be the author of your thoughts, always. – Commentary by Lisa M. Leto
