Changing Inside Out Now! Tending the garden of the heart - Day 10

A different take on Easter - Part 3

Easter Sunday - The Resurrection - New Life

He is risen! As we celebrate the resurrected Christ in His transformed glorified body, we see a reflection in the transformation of our owns hearts.

Once we've continued to enrich our hearts, new growth, new life begins to spring up and the outward manifestation of the inner growth of our hearts is revealed.

The process:

1) The crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus Christ in the tomb is liken to the seed with its outer shell concealing the potential for new life and is sown into the nutrient-enriched soil.

2) Jesus in the tomb, the day after his burial is compared to the silent period where the outer shell of the seed begins to open up in the darkness of the nutrient-enriched and watered soil. The life-changing power begins the transformation process.

3) The stone is rolled away. Jesus emerges in his transformed and glorified body. New life penetrates the soil's surface to the outer realm where it is free to show forth it's transformed stage and continue to grow daily.

Compare Jesus' experience to your own inner transformation journey. From enriching the soil of your heart, to sowing seeds with life-potential in this nutrient-enriched soil, to continuing to water this soil during the silent period until you begin to see new growth emerging through to the surface.

Watering the soil of your heart daily ensures that your growth process continues.

Allow the life-power of the resurrected Christ to prevail in the transformation process of your heart, then you will have a heart full of love and compassion, as the Master, manifesting this internal enrichment in your external world.

The Silent Period

After Jesus died and was buried in the tomb, his disciples felt the sting of death. Surely, they were missing him. They remembered his promise of his resurrection and wondered what he truly meant.

They waited for the promise, the silent period, with no external evidence of this promise coming to pass.

During the process of tending your heart, you may not immediately see any external evidence. But you know that as you continue to water the seed (the inner desire) that was sewn in the nutrient-enriched soil of your heart, it will begin to become visible to the external eyes.

Don't be discouraged, today! Keep thinking thoughts of what you desire to achieve and speak words of life to your dream. Your reward is sure to follow.

Much life-changing transformation power was in the tomb where Jesus laid. Just as the seed undergoes its own transformation in the dark silence of the soil. This is the essential stage before the manifestation period. Without it, new life would never spring up.

Consider what's happening inside your heart. Looks like nothing's occurring? Feel the change. The life-changing energy force is at work within you. Wait for it! It's soon to penetrate the surface to your outer world.
