Seed and Soil

The harvest depends on the quality of the soil. Jesus once compared God to a farmer who planted His Word like a seed and our heart was the soil where God planted. But many people do not stop to receive the seed, but follow their path and while walking they stepped on the Word of God and the devil took the seed so that they do not believe and be saved. Others live so attracted by temptation that although they enjoy the Word, fall away to follow temptation. There are also those who stop to receive the word, but the seed does not germinate because it is crowded out by their cares and riches and the attraction to the pleasures of this life. Finally there are people who receive the seed with a good and honest heart; cling to the word of God and struggle with patience to produce the harvest that God expects and wants. If you want to look and really see, hear and really listen and understand, prepare the soil of your heart to be fertile and the word of God germinates in you, to grow and bear the huge harvest that God has planned for you. Read it in Luke 8:4-15.
