As I was sharing in the last article about weeds and their role in bringing healing to the soil by restoring balance with their various "abilities", a spiritual illustration came to mind.
Have you farmers out there ever wondered how things worked in the Garden of Eden? No diseases, no hail storms, no frost,no drought, just perfect, nutrient dense food, and the Creator walking next to you giving tips on how to grow perfect crops every time. You would think someone would thought to have written some of that stuff down but alas, the serpent thing happen, then the first organic biodegradable clothing, and just like that, man finds himself "out of the pool" so to speak.
All of the sudden mankind is having to work like crazy to get the soil to provide food. All nature was altered as a result of man's sin in the Garden of Eden, and in need of healing. Man also, could no longer enjoy those walks in the garden with his creator, and the relationship seemingly hopelessly severed.
Just as we strive to heal the soil to try and restore balance, we also attempt to bridge the gap between us and our maker but to no avail. In fact, when looking at weeds, they have more healing ability than we do, so what's up with that?
God never intended for man to be separated from Him, it was man's decision. But just as He provided for healing in nature, He also provided a solution for man.
Yes Virginia, there is a Healer and His name is Jesus, and it started with a baby in a feed trough in Bethlehem...
