• The plants may vary in size and beauty, in fragrance and fruitfulness, but all are for the delight of the King. And so, in the garden of the Lord; no two saints are alike, but all minister to His delight. (“Canticle 3: The Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• It seems to me that every one ought to understand that a life that is lived for God is one bringing forth the fruits of righteousness. Love, purity, goodness, sweetness, kindness, compassion, consideration for others, all of these things are the beautiful fruits that grow in this garden when the living water is properly fructifying the soil. In Galatians 5:22 we have a long list of the fruit of the Spirit. (“Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1” by H.A. Ironside)
• Some of these plants give forth their fragrance as the rain and dew fall upon them; some of them send forth a subtle aroma when the rays of the sun are warming them. Others never exude, never give out their fragrance, until they are pierced and the sap flows forth. So is it with our lives. We need all kinds of varied experiences in order that we may manifest the graces of Christ in our behavior. (“Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1” by H.A. Ironside)
