  • diligence

    When I carefully consider this, I know there is nothing more important for me then to be a teacher of the Word and pass on to others what I have learned.

    So I have given serious thought to this time in my life and am inspired by the Holy Spirit and His Word to share that others may learn. I do consider all the words of the good book because they are honest and true.

    These are “seeds” and when taken root they are the life that gives light and salvation to a persons walk with the Lord.

    You only have to look up the word “seeds” in the bible to understand what role they play in this life, and I am sure that others did it for me. This is the work of the Lord!

    Sometimes the good seed may for a time lie dormant in a worldly heart, giving no notice, but I am reminded as the Spirit of God breaths on the soul that has hidden seeds, they will spring up.

    Sharing diligently the seeds given to us looks like sharing the good news of Christ salvation, we do not know what will prosper, but we must remember that we are to do our work in sharing and leave the results to God. Ecclesiastes 11

    In Christ Love, Amen

  • seeds of compassion

    In Mark 4:1-9 read about the “seed sower”.

    Again in Luke 8:4-15 you will see in this text it gives the purpose of sowing. If you didn’t catch it before v.11 tells us what the seeds represent. The word of God.

    Now re-read Mark 4:1-9 with “word of God” in place of “seeds”. Pretty awesome, right?

    He explained that different grounds yield different results, but the sower never withheld.

    Now the purpose of this is to give all grounds an opportunity to experience His Word. And if you didn’t connect it, those grounds are lives – people.

    How do we know His seeds are true and good? John 1:1 John 1:14 Proverbs 30:5 Rev 19:13 Since the Word is God, and we know God is love. Then love must be the principle action,

    Love is the underlying principle of God’s government in heaven and earth and it must be the foundation of the Christian’s character.

    Sowing is sharing the word in all places no matter the ground. Because the Lords compassion fails not. Lam 3:22-23 so then we should not withhold sharing those seeds. Even when the ground appears dead – Eph 2:4 says: He can do something to make us alive if we want, and to be alive in Christ, is life eternal!

    Read His words of compassion and ask Him to help you to share the seeds of love today.

    In Christ Love, Amen
