The kingdom of God is like a garden. The gardener learns what the soil needs for plants to grow. She places the seeds in the dirt, burying them in darkness, hoping that they will sprout to new life. She waters them everyday, sometimes waiting weeks for signs of life. She rejoices when the little sprouts of green poke out of the dark earth. She will still have to wait weeks for flowers that will turn to produce. She faithfully waters and watches and waits, beholding the mystery that is something growing from a tiny seed buried in darkness.

The Kingdom of God is like a garden, where only the gardener truly knows how to care for it well.
