Garden Poems

Wendy Golter, reader

Poems by Muriel Stuart, Charles Spurgeon, and Wendy Golter

The fruit of the Spirit is just that: the Spirit’s fruit; not my work but his, if I am his garden. These three pieces are about gardens and God’s work: “The Seed Shop” by Muriel Stuart is about the potential in the seed that is sown. A devotional reading from Charles Spurgeon’s Faith’s Check Book reminds us of the necessity of irrigation with the Holy Spirit’s living water, and “The Spirit’s Fruit” by Wendy Golter describes the mystery of growth.
