Scattered Seeds
How many seeds have the Lord scattered and or continue generously to scatter in your life? and do you also scatter seeds in the lives of others? The Lord Jesus continue to pour graces/seeds in my life and many of these are growing without my knowledge as it is the good Lord that nourishes and nurtures them.
God adds years to our life that we many learn wisdom to bear fruits, ...fruits.that will last,... fruits for His Kingdom. The Grace of Jesus is working in the world in various ways but most of the time silently. We need to continue to scatter seeds in the lives of others trusting that some of these seeds will reach harvest time.
The Church community should be a home where seeds of love, healing and forgiveness are sown. Just as a seed has no power to change itself until it is planted in the ground, so we cannot change our lives to be like God unless by the power of the Holy Spirit. When we yield to Jesus Christ, our lives are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. We hold this treasure in earthen vessels to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us (2 Cor. 4:7). The mystery of God's Kingdom has been granted to the innocent, mere babes....The Holy Spirit is able to transform us into Christ-like holiness,.... increase our zeal for His kingdom....and instill in us a holy desire to live for His greater glory. We are where we are right now on our spiritual journey because of the numerous unknown people, who have and continue to scatter seeds in our lives. We likewise must continue the trend so that in the end most of the seeds scattered will reach the harvest yielding 30, 40, 60 80...... ? scatter today, a seed of hope, love, healing, forgiveness, joy and peace in the hearts all around you.... keep them in your prayers and believe that God is working in their lives just as He continues to work in yours for you have not reached the full harvest yet. Only the willingness required is to serve like the one who came to serve and not be served...... to love and not count the cost......to understand and not to be understood...... to love and not be loved.......keep scattering therefore God's seeds and don't be overcome by fear, and disappointments in your own life.
Amen my big sister be blessed
