We can transform our hearts in a beautiful garden caring for him daily. As the flowers of a garden must be constantly watered and pruned the flowers of our hearts which are the feelings and thoughts must be watered with the Word of God daily, otherwise the soil in which they would be dry and break. The weeds can destroy him also. We need to get out the weeds that are the negative things and feelings that the Enemy tries to place in it to kill us! We need to look at to be born again in order to have the same feelings that was in Christ Jesus, in this way the Holy Spirit can live in us! Otherwise evil reigns in our lives.
If some bad thoughts and feelings come to you, please stop them immediately!
We need to constantly pray for your enemies. Constantly watch and pray as Jesus said. "Love your enemies, do good to them that do evil"! Do you know why? Because, in fact, they were blessed us! Like the blind man in the Gospel who asked Jesus to heal while the disciples tried to keep him quiet. But he did not give up, ever screamed louder: "JESUS, HEALS ME!" Until He healed him!
If your Enemy, yes your only one enemy, because there is actually only one: the evil one, try to destroy you, cry louder to Jesus, "Son of David, save me!"
I am immensely grateful to all those who tried to harm me, for me helped me become strong in faith and overcome all obstacles! Today I am happier because I have been born again and have a wonderful garden in my heart! I am regenerated, a new creature! The past is behind us! Today I have eternal life and I'm going to Heaven for eternity with Jesus! Do you can believe this! Some people think I am crazy because I believe in this: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17.3, New King James Version)

Gardens are the most beautiful things that we can visit. We can see the most beautiful flowers in them, and in difficult times, we can go to rest our mind, brighten our eyes are the windows of our body, and when we leave this garden, we feel more relieved. But now we will talk about the garden that our heart, which can be very beautiful and comforting also, if we plant in it good feelings and thoughts, the joy of the Lord, good works and all the best. But unlike if we deposit in it resentments, heartbreak, criticism, envy, bad things eventually, with time until we get sick. As Jesus said we need to pray for our enemies and do good to those who hurt us, so we do not contaminated with the wickedness of others.

How often do we look within ourselves is to evaluate how our heart? Sometimes the accumulation of things superfluous and artificial litter all our heart, obstructing the development of virtues. Our hearts need to have the flowers of Christian virtues, so that the soul is fragrant and sweet the words are. Do not let hatred as noxious seeds, root of bitterness and other harmful things to occupy space within your heart. Like a garden, our hearts need only produce beautiful things and holy, something like a piece of heaven within us. The sweetest scents of a holy incense in prayer form can only be extracted from a heart filled with flowers and fruits of holiness justice. Look inside your heart, tear everything sucks and start cultivating only that which is sacred.
Hibiscus - Botanical Garden NYC
I can remember the first time I picked up a flower and how I was blown away by the beauty of the flower. It was a pink hibiscus! May we never lose this enchantment of our childhood mostly for God's creation.
In the biblical story we have several cases of people who do not take good care of their garden, and had a big disappointment for themselves and even others connected to them such as the case of Adam and Eve who did not follow a direction given by God in the Garden of Eden, and so were expelled, lost the holy communion with the Lord and the perks and facilities they had, because they let Satan enter them in the garden and do some damage with consequences of spiritual, physical, psychological, as well as pain and sickness to bring their souls, has also consequences for all mankind.
As Jesus Himself said, "is not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out from within." We can have only positive and constructive feelings and thoughts in our hearts and minds. If the devil tempts us with feelings of revenge, hatred, and others, we can rebuff with peace, bless those who hurt us and love, desiring the good who is bad with us, because if they do not convert and born again they go to hell and stay there for all eternity! The enemies deserve our mercy! In a world with so many needs and people only think of themselves selfishly. Those suffering in distant places of the earth, like Africa, China, India, etc.. We must pray and help them
May we always take care of the Garden of the Heart, not only ours but others also, looking forward filled it with good things an feelings so that we can express good things and blessing! We can help this world be better, not just being "green", I mean, "Taking care of the planet", but you must take care of the Kingdom of God inside us!
Do not forget what it is write in the Mathew Gospel chapel 3: "Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire" (New king James Version). Then, our trees must bear fruits and for this we must take care of the garden in our hearts!
May the Lord reigns in us forever and ever!
May God bless and reach you, so you can be saved!
