THE SEED

Our lives can be parallel to that of a little tiny seed.  That seed is just being planted into the dirt when we realize the true purpose and meaning of life—life in Jesus Christ.

Growth of the seed will continue when we read and share God’s Word and reach out to one another.  This is the water and food that nourishes the seed.

In reaching out to others, we help ourselves grow, as well as bringing others to know and love Jesus more.  This is the “sun” which, when it shines brightly, helps the seed to blossom into something beautiful.

At times, clouds and storms may come and shake us, but with the “Son’s” help and with friends to hold us up, the storm will pass, and soon the sun will shine again.  These storms help us stand taller and be stronger than before.

Again, He said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest see you plant in the ground. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”  –Mark 4:30-32

  1. So many times Jesus uses the idea of a “seed.” It either lands somewhere where it does not grow, or is eaten up before it can grow, or grows among the weeds. This is my favorite parable as it shows what a mature life in Christ can be when that seed is planted in good soil, watered and given sunlight. We are the kingdom of God! Thank you, Christine.

  2. What a beautiful image! Thank you for reminding us of the beauty of something so small in the hands of The Creator can become something wonderful.

  3. Well come to think of it, it is in the rain (or storm) that the seed is being watered generously for that seed to grow. So is our seed of faith watered to grow. 🙂
