Like John in the Jordan
the prophets speaking truth
sowing with abandon
the seeds of God’s love
No reason to hold back
like water they pour out
offering hope to the world
in the person of the Christ
God’s mercy endless
love raining down
sacrifice and redemption
in the way of the cross
we only are to sow the seeds
leaving the growth to God

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.”
