Contained within God's WORD are many references used as identifiers of my relationship with my heavenly Father.

Indeed, as fellow laborers, planted in fields which God expects a harvest to come forth, Believers are HIS Divine handiwork which are nourished and cared for as someone would a garden.

Every detail is meticuously looked upon as vitally important, not only to the growth of each 'plant', but also to the resilience that each one must establish in order to be deemed as 'fruitful'.

Looking upon the Church as HIS 'garden', our Father and 'Master Gardener' diversifies the 'plants', some being mature and bearing fruit, others as young and developing, tender yet growing strong under HIS careful 'SUPERvision'.

John 15:2 (Amplified) Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.

The elements which Believers face many times are harsh depending upon the season, a testing of sorts for both mature and young alike, yet it is the spiritual 'Covering' of Holy Spirit that so watchfully guards and through HIS WORD are each enriched.

Christ Jesus goes further with HIS description of my need for continual nourishment of HIS Provision,

John 15:4 (Amplified) Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.

The Body of Christ is a Variety of 'plants', some of which are 'spices' and others the 'staples', each growing separately yet together they produce their intended 'fruit'.

Where HIS Purpose from the diligent cultivating, planting, grooming and eventual reaping, produces forth such a delightful combination, pleasing in the sight of God.

To one day be presented as a 'harvest' of Believers,
