Read Matthew 7:7-11.
This is the wonderful passage in which Jesus enunciated the primary truth of the Fatherhood of God. He says here, definitely and clearly, that the real relationship of God and man is that of parent and child. It is extremely difficult to realize the far-reaching importance that this declaration holds for the life of the soul.
It is axiomatic, of course, that the offspring must be of the same nature and species as the parent; and so if God and man are indeed Father and child, man must be essentially divine too, and susceptible of infinite development up the rising pathway of divinity. That is to say, as man’s true nature unfolds, he will expand in spiritual consciousness until he has transcended all bounds of human imagination. It is in reference to our glorious destiny, that Jesus himself says elsewhere, quoting the older scriptures:
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken…(John 10:34-35).
As children of God, we have unlimited possibilities that we can not begin to imagine or even believe. Yet, the Bible says it, and Jesus himself reaffirms it. So, it is up to us to live into that reality. It is a wonderful and awesome truth to grasp and accept. That truth also places a great responsibility on us to nurture and manifest this reality in the world around us.
That is where our gardens come into the picture. As divine beings, we are given an Eden in which to demonstrate and cultivate our piece of heaven here below. Let us apply our divinity to the space and time around us, so that we may reveal and share our divinity and our gardens with those around us.
Being God’s child,
