The garden of life

The human heart is comparable to a garden
You reap only what you sow as some produce a distinct amount of fruits
All depends on your choice of plant
Guard the good things growing in your heart.

In the garden of life, the seed is always the same
The condition of the heart determines the harvest
Some could also be like stony or rough ground
Others may look good but don't last.

Your lifestyle determines the standard of your garden
If it is healthy, it grows quality fruits
Odd thoughts, behaviours and feelings depreciate the quality
Improve the quality of your garden.

Prepare the soil of your garden before you plant
Shield the soil of your garden through preparation
When the ground is cultivated, the seed will grow
Plant the word of God and procure redemption.
