In the brother’s question
something of his heart
wanting his brother’s portion
the inheritance he was given
as if it was his part
Thinking of material things
not of the work of God
needing to be focused on Christ
his grace poured
the provision of the Lord
enough to meet our needs
Going into the fields
workers of the Lord
sowing the seeds of his love
a harvest for God
Not to be stored up
but to be given away
a focus on the love of Christ
guiding each of our days

“Waste and Grace”,
by Rev. Frank Gulinello, Jr.
“ Jesus’ parable of the Sower focuses on the scattering of the seed.
No matter what kind of ground it falls upon, whether hardpan or
deep rich soil, God will have a harvest yielding a hundred fold.
So, scattering the seed aimlessly is not wasteful in God’s economy.”
