The Seeds, not the Soil

While the soil is the hearts
of the people in the fields
those who don’t know God
who need his message of love

The seeds, not the soil important
our part to play
to sow God’s seeds of love
and then get out of the way

God is the agent
who brings on the growth
we are to sow the seeds
and God will do the rest

Matthew 13:1-11; 24-30
“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.”
