Seeds.

Have you ever planted seeds and later watched the vegetable, flower or tree grow? Pretty exciting, huh?

Of course you have to make sure you water the plants, and plant in an area where there’s enough sun, etc.

What about us as Christians, how good are we at planting seeds, or in other words, how good are we at bringing people to Christ? When was the last time you told someone your story of how Jesus changed your life?

God uses what we plant and leads others to spread further seed or water the ground, but He alone causes the growth. When you display Christlike qualities and sow truth into others' lives, God feeds their spirit, changes their heart, enlarges their spiritual understanding, and increases their desire to live for Him.

When we plant seeds in the ground, we are making sure that the soil is free of weeds/rocks; we make sure we water the plants regularly, and we wait to see what happens.

As a Christian, it is up to us to plant the seeds (words of God) into others. That was our mission from the start, in our walk with God.

Planting a seed is more than just an act of putting something in the ground—it’s an act of faith.

As you plant seeds in your own life and in the lives of others, remember that every small act of kindness, every step toward a goal, and every effort to improve yourself has the potential to change the world around you.

Happy planting.

Luke 8:10-11 - “He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’ “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.”
