GOD HAS A LOVE GARDEN. DO WE?
Imagine a garden with rows of huge beautiful trees. With columns of luxurious pleasant trees.
These trees bears fruits of the character traits in 1 Corinthians 13 Love Chapter.
There is the tree of patient. The tree of kindness.
There are the trees that mark, NO ENVY, NO BOASTING, NO PRIDE.
These trees bear fruits to the Father pleasure.
The seed of No Envy He has planted toward His creation has brought back the pleasant fruits people and being, friends and foes, are giving back to Him.
In life we sometime get annoyed when friends and enemies envy us. We would all sometime wish people don't envy or hate us for who we are or what we have. We sometime want to enjoy this fruits of No Envy.
The Father has a garden of NO ENVY trees. A harvest of people who don't envy Him...
WHO DON'T HATE HIM.
Where there's no hatred, there's the return of lost prodigal sons. The return of lost souls.
He has a garden of NO BOASTING, NO PRIDE--He has trees that bears the fruits of HUMILITY.
Those who don't boast, those who are not filled with pride, are those who are humble.
The Father will enjoy the fruits of humility when His people are humble toward Him. When they don't boast about their strengths, their wisdoms, their ways.
He get pleasure when His people humble themselves and pray. When they humble themselves and seek His face. When they turn from their ways.
It will give Him pleasure to see His children humble. It give Him pleasure to HEAL THEIR LAND.
To do good to them.
TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR RECOVERY.
The Father has a garden of these fruit-bearing trees. He has the pleasure of enjoying it.
He has a garden of love.
In it are trees of various traits. Multiples trees of PATIENCE and KINDNESS. Of kindness giving back to the Father from His creation.
Of unbelievers giving back to His ministries through material wealth. Of believers giving back services--sacrificing their times, resources and desires for the Father's works.
In His garden are many trees.
God has a love garden. Do we?

Revelation Of The Father's Heart
"The Father's love to the world is the Father's heart to mankind."
The revelation of His love is the revelation of His heart. Understanding His love is understanding His heart.
From the Bible--the very Word that preachers, teachers and bishops use to ministers their sermons on Sunday--comes the truth that GOD IS LOVE.
Since we know that God is love, and love mirror the heart, we can understand the Father's heart by putting love into definition. Below is the universal definition of love widely accepted by christians around the world.
Love is patience. Love is kind. It doesn't envy. It doesn't boast.
It isn't full of pride. It isn't rude, easily offended or selfish.
Love is not a record keeper of past wrongs.
God is patient. And patient produce mercy. God is not quick to give up on you when you're striving to reach the next level for yourself, your family or your ministry.
He will be patient with you. He will MERCIFUL to you.
His heart will remain the same. It will not go through a transformation. It will not change.
His heart will be saturated with the same loving force now as it will be when you mess up. His love for you will never weaken.
He is the Father of kindness. He will be patient. He will be merciful. He will be KIND.
In your struggles, He will give you His grace. His help. His UNDERSTANDING.
He will give His words of encouragement. His resources. His anointing.
We see the Father as One who's not only a Father of patience, but also a Father of kindness Who doesn't envy, boast, or is pumped up with pride. He isn't a rude Father, and even though He expect us to be vessels for His glory, He doesn't so easily snap at every mistakes you make.
The Father is a thoughtful Person who cares about you and your family. He CARES about the burden of guilts you are carrying.
He is not One who keep records of every things, or every little problems you gives Him. The things you do, whether recently done or decades old, whether terrible or minor, can be forgiven if you just ask Him.
He is a Father who is quick to forgive and slow to hold on to your past.
Approach Daddy today and experience for yourself why Christians around the globe loves Him so much.
Approach Him and see for yourself the reason why Christians all over the planet are declaring, "We love God BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US."
This is the Father's love. This is the Father's heart.
May we grow in the attributes of His love. May we grow in the characteristics of His heart.
What attributes we are struggling in, know that "Daddy" can help us grow and take us to the next level in that attribute.
Remember...
God is a Father of patience. A Father of KINDNESS.
