God said, “Let the waters under the sky come together into one place so that the dry land can appear”…God named the dry land Earth, and he named the gathered waters Seas. God saw how good it was.
—Genesis 1:9-10
God gathers the waters on the earth to reveal dry land. With divine authority, the land on which human history would find its footing emerged, teeming with potential for life. But as of now…it’s just dirt.
In the same way, the soil of our hearts is filled with the potential for color and life. Apart from the creative power of God’s divine husbandry, our hearts remain barren, uncultivated, and lifeless.
God desires to transform our hearts, revealing the dry ground, cultivating and watering it into a fruitful and abundant garden, producing a harvest of Christlike love.
Lord, let your creative, transforming power work in my heart, producing a heart teeming with love for you and the people in my life.
