Pastor Linda

from Pastor Linda...

 


While digging in the rock-hard soil of my garden, I thought of God preparing the soil of humankind to receive his son ... hard as iron, we crucified him. I thought of my own heart, and the times it has been hard as iron. As much as I contended with the soil to receive the plants, how much more does God contend with us teaching us hard lessons and showering us with life-giving grace?
