John’s Spring Planting Tips

Spring is the season of renewal and hope. We plant seeds in our gardens and flower beds, and we nurture them in anticipation of beauty and sustenance. Just as some seeds allow us to grow flowers and vegetables, there are other seeds that produce the fruits of inner peace and happiness. Here are some spiritual gardening tips to ponder during this planting season:

• God’s eyes see you as whole, perfect, and complete.
• God wishes you to live joyously.
• God’s love and forgiveness are unconditional.
• Spirit is divine, immortal, and invulnerable.
• Spirit is your true identity, not the body.
• If you choose to listen, the Holy Spirit shall unfailingly guide you.
• Extend love and forgiveness to yourself and others.
• Pray and meditate daily.
• Avoid judgment.
• Let go of guilt.
• Heaven is your divine inheritance.
• Think of this very moment as the only time there ever is.
• If God were to speak to you right now, He would say, “Have faith!”
• Faith ultimately leads to surrender.
• Surrender leads to spiritual growth.
• Your will and God’s will are one.
• Maintain your sense of humor and don’t take things personally.
• Life provides just the right lessons at just the right time.
• Nothing happens that does not benefit the greater good.
• God’s presence is constant. There is no time or place where He is not.

If properly tended, these twenty seeds will blossom into greater peace and happiness. Indeed, these seeds are timeless and guaranteed to flourish in all climates and conditions. May you be blessed with a bountiful harvest!

Yours in love and peace,

John
