A Seed Will Meet Your Need

I’m reminded of the parable in the bible about the sower and the seed. The sower scatters his seed which falls on four different types of ground. The hard ground prevents the seed from sprouting at all and becomes nothing more than bird food. The stony ground provides just enough soil for the seed to germinate and begin to grow, but due to not having much depth in the soil the plants are unable to take root and soon wither in the sun.

The thorny ground allows the seed to grow, but the competing thorns choke the life out of the plant and it too withers away. The good ground receives the seed and produces much fruit. Interpreting the seed and the soil in society today one could look at it this way. The hard ground represents someone who is open to the opportunities of life but sadly is easily influenced and therefore any gain is short lived. The stony ground represents someone who gives a good impression that they get the opportunity, they’re excited by their conversation but fall short by their actions.

The thorny ground represents those who demonstrate a good understanding and receive the opportunity however they allow the temptations of this world to prevent them from fulfilling their potential. The good ground represents those who not only understand but demonstrate understanding through their words, actions and deeds producing 30%, 60% and even 100% return from their harvest.

You have the unlimited potential to be, do and have anything you want in life. You simply have to decide what you want and be willing to work long enough, hard enough and smart enough to make it happen.

 

The only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary.
