Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
'I have been a buyer for a major multinational for 18 years. I think I have got the best job in the world, genuinely. I love the plants. I’ve always been interested in plants. For me, it’s trying to share that passion with people, that’s why I do what I do.
'Gardening has so many positive effects in terms of mental and physical health, and now that’s particularly true. Now, it demonstrates why gardening is really, really important.
'The last few months have been incredibly complicated. In the gardening world, 60% of business is done between March and May. March and April have been written off. What we do is very, very intense. You have to get used to the pressure. You go from nothing to 100 miles an hour very, very quickly.
'I’ve gone from being a fairweather reader of the Bible to really digging under the skin a lot more. The verse that’s been helpful for me is Joshua 1.9, ‘Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’ That is so appropriate for what we are going through at the moment, and helps me feel reassured that God is with us always even though things are really difficult.
'What’s struck home with me is the importance of having a relationship with God. The more time I spend reading the Bible, it closes the distance between me and God. I used to do that in the car, but now I’m working from home it’s harder. There’s less time. So, I read first thing in the morning. Once the day starts, it’s 5pm.'
Rwyf wedi bod yn brynwr i gwmni rhyngwladol mawr ers 18 mlynedd. Rwy'n credu fod gen i’r swydd orau yn y byd, a dweud y gwir. Rwyf wrth fy modd â phlanhigion. Bu gen i ddiddordeb erioed mewn planhigion. I mi, ceisio rhannu'r angerdd hwnnw â phobl, dyna pam rwy'n gwneud yr hyn rwy'n ei wneud.
Mae garddio’n cael cymaint o effeithiau cadarnhaol o ran iechyd meddwl a chorfforol, a nawr mae hynny'n arbennig o wir. Nawr, mae'n dangos pam fod garddio yn wirioneddol bwysig.
Mae'r misoedd diwethaf wedi bod yn hynod gymhleth. Yn y byd garddio, mae 60% o'r busnes yn cael ei wneud rhwng mis Mawrth a mis Mai. Mae Mawrth ac Ebrill wedi'u dileu. Mae'r hyn rydyn ni'n ei wneud yn hynod o ddwys. Mae'n rhaid i chi ddod i arfer â'r pwysau. Rydych chi'n mynd o ddim i 100 milltir yr awr yn gyflym iawn, iawn.
Rydw i wedi mynd o fod yn ddarllenwr tywydd teg o'r Beibl i gloddio o dan yr wyneb yn llawer mwy. Yr adnod sydd wedi bod o gymorth i mi yw Joshua 1.9, ‘Onid wyf wedi gorchymyn iti: bydd yn gryf a dewr? Paid ag arswydo na dychryn, oherwydd yr wyf fi, yr ARGLWYDD dy Dduw, gyda thi ple bynnag yr ei.' Mae hynny mor briodol ar gyfer yr hyn yr ydym yn mynd drwyddo ar hyn o bryd, ac mae'n fy helpu i deimlo'n dawel fy meddwl bod Duw gyda ni bob amser er bod pethau'n anodd iawn.
Yr hyn sydd wedi fy nharo i yw pwysigrwydd cael perthynas â Duw. Po fwyaf yr amser rwy'n ei dreulio yn darllen y Beibl, mae'n cau'r pellter rhyngof fi a Duw. Roeddwn i'n arfer gwneud hynny yn y car, ond nawr fy mod yn gweithio gartref mae'n anoddach. Mae llai o amser ar gael. Felly, rwy’n darllen ben bore. Unwaith y bydd y diwrnod yn cychwyn, daw hi’n 5yh.
