THEY GREW!

WOW! THEY GREW.

I know.  It means nothing to you.  But if you

could see what that barren parcel of land 

looked like you would understand my enthusiasm.

That area had been an old chicken yard.  It

would grow nothing but some weeds in the 

shade.  But, I tore it out and wanted to turn it

into more lawn.  Of course it was completely

the wrong time of year to plant any grass of 

any kind.  But, I threw some seed out there 

 and it grew anyway.

That encourages me in other ways also.

On social media such as Facebook I can

post something for God and get very few 

likes.  But the next day post the picture of

one of my great grand kids and get ten times

more likes than something for God.

Just like the parable of the sower that

Jesus gave:

"This is the meaning of the parable.  

The seed is God's word."

(Luke 8:11 NLT)

That means to me that people see it,

but disregard it.  But God has said:

"It is the same with my word.

I send it out, and it always

produces fruit.

It will accomplish all I want it to,

and it will prosper everywhere

I send it."

(Isaiah 55:11 NLT)

I can't make the grass seed grow.

But God can.  I can't make people

take to heart what God said.  I can

only throw out the seed and let God

do the work.
