Matthew Chp 13
Matthew Chp 13 v 1
On the same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: " Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 " And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. " 5" Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth" 6 " But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away." 7 " And some fell among thorns , and the thorns sprang up and choked them" 8 " But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop : some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. "
And you realise this can be applied to friendships as well...
How often do you sow things to people..... some fall by the wayside, forgotton, as a one off thing, and it was devoured by others to be no more. some fall on stony places, where people like u temporarily for the nice things u have done and a little bit grows, but it never grows past that... its so short lived, and soon they get weathered down. or perhaps they fall among thorns, and these people are taken away from u by others.... but some will grow, some will be gd and flourish. and we thank God for that.
I can think of so many people... in my life... and i really see how which of u are still seeds that are growing, seeds that have taken root and are flourishing, seeds that have not grown at all and have been blown away by the wind... i see those of you who have withered..... and so many others. covered by sand, scorched by the sun.
-i've mentioned this before in a previous post, here's more elaboration-
once u've sown the seeds, wait and see what harvests.
and sow for the next season... and the next and the next..
