You all know the Great Law. One way of stating it is to say: Like produces like. What we sow in thought we reap in experience.
People know that these things are true, and yet in spite of this transcendent knowledge they constantly use the Great Law for their own destruction. They would not dream of pouring water in the gas tank of their car, or sand into their watch, or broken glass into their food; but they do something just as foolish every time they think, speak, or act negatively. One cannot help wondering what such people have inside their heads – brains or excelsior.
In the future, when you catch yourself thinking negatively, say to your self severely, “Brains or excelsior?” and immediately switch to what you know to be the Truth of Being.
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord… (Ephesians 6:8).
Our gardens are the worldly manifestations of our thoughts, words and deeds. When we plant loving thoughts; water them with joy , tolerance, patience and hope; our gardens will be filled with fragrance, beauty and bounty. But just as any good gardener knows, we must also till the soil, pull the weeds and keep the bugs out for our gardens to thrive. Our attitudes are the soil which must be properly prepared. Negative thoughts, words and deeds are the bugs and weeds which degrade our gardens and rob them of fruit and flower.
So, let us remember the words of Christ, “Get thee behind me, Satan”, whenever these threats enter our gardens. And, just like the burrowing insects trying to create a nest in our garden, we must immediately eliminate our negative thoughts so they do not infect our words and deeds. Even though no human can totally resist negative thoughts, we can turn away from them and root them out of our consciousness before the get a foothold, or multiply to infest our garden. Then, like every good gardener, we can rest from our work in the garden with joy in ourselves and confidence in the harvest to come.
Planting love,
Stan
