The Garden of the Mind
by boatrocker Gilmore Man's first instruction by the Creator was to dress and keep the Garden. But Man has violated God's instruction so severely that he needs a pardon. For the first garden that a man must cultivate and protect is the garden of the mind. He needs to prepare it to produce fruits that will benefit God and all of mankind. He must begin daily seeking and receiving instructions from the Creator. He must carry these instructions out like a man in a restaurant being a waiter. God has tools available for him to use-His Holy Spirit and His Holy Book. But most have avoided his Spirit and the Bible, they choose to overlook. Now because of his ignorance, his mind is filled with weeds and thistles. And in the school of life, his neglect may result in God giving him an early dismissal. By accepting Jesus Christ as Lord over his mind, his garden is guaranteed to produce the right fruits. A man choosing to have the mind of Christ, there should be no greater life's pursuits. For Jesus' mind alone can produce the fruits that can please God and bring him the greatest delight. Like a Waiter, let us serve our Heavenly Father what he has ordered: let us satisfy his appetite.
