How often we hear this phrase when the subject turns to love
and romance. The poets have compared love to ripened fruit
and fragrant flowers. In the Song of Solomon 4:16, we read, "Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat its pleasant fruits."
As in a garden, a seed is planted... perhaps the first date. If the relationship is a well matched one the seed grows in fertile soil. The couple discovers each other's interests and points of view as the "garden" is tended and watered. Weeds may try to push through, but they are uprooted and thrown away and forgotten as the two learn to negotiate. As their relationship flowers, delicate buds give way to fragrant petals and mature love is bom.
As Valentine Day approaches, may we remember that true love is strong and enduring. Yet, weeds will try to encroach. Cod is the Master Gardener. With Him our love will remain vital. Won't you reinforce that love in worship this week?
