planting...

 

why do you plant seeds in the spring?

for flowers in summer?

why do you do that?

whatever made you think that those tiny little specks of seeds could ever be anything but little specks in the ground?

but you put them in the soil and keep them watered...

day after day...

week after week...

how do you know you will get flowers in the end?

isn't it an act of faith when you till the soil, pull the weeds and put the seeds in the ground?

that the cells in that seed have the knowledge to become a flower?

that will reproduce seeds for the next summer, too?

that you can do the same thing in God's garden...

that you can plant seeds of life, hope, love and redemption in a human?

that it takes steps to complete the process...

that we need to prepare our hearts for God's seeds...

we need to clear the weeds and plant seeds of His word in our hearts...

and in others, because there are many flowers in God's garden...

we need to feed the seeds, water the seeds...

make sure they are planted in the light...

so when harvest comes...

the blooms are there...

and they are making seeds to plant in others...

to share the light with the world...

humans need tending to...

especially in the world today...

we shall reap what we sow...

be blessed...
