It's time to sow good seeds

Spring time is always a favorite time of year for me.  Planting the seeds, waiting for the plants/flowers to sprout out of the ground is exciting.  


Another analogy to this is sowing good seeds of biblical truth to those who don't know Jesus.  But, more often than not, we want an immediate response to our words of hope.


This reminds me of my granddaughter and I talking the other day.  When I asked her if she and her mom were planting seeds for the flowers and garden, she said "yes."  Then she followed by saying "maybe we'll see something come up tomorrow."  I reminded her that seeds take time to grow.  The seed has to get its energy from the soil and then the rain and sun give it energy to sprout out of the ground and grow into something beautiful.


Galatians 6:9 - "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."


God's word, the bible, are the seeds of hope for everyone of us.  It's up to the Christian to plant and water these seeds in those we meet that do not know God.  I can tell you as a Christian, it's not that easy to do at times.  There are times that we need to plant these seeds of hope within the non-believer by telling them stories from our own lives.  Once we get these seeds planted, then it's God who will come along and harvest those seeds at a later time.


Don't stop planting!  It's never to late to start.  It's always growing season in the life of Christ.
