“For we walk by faith, not by sight:” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV

Much of a garden’s work happens where no one can see it. Before the first bloom, roots are reaching, strengthening, and learning where water can be found.

Faith often feels this way. We look for visible proof while God is tending foundations beneath the surface.

Today I am letting the garden remind me that hidden does not mean forgotten. Some of the holiest growth begins in the dark.
