Most
individuals are innately a bit self-centered. While it's normal to take care of
yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually, most people retain a healthy
concern for others. God generously gives us a measure of love and wisdom, which
become the hallmark for making life joyful and peaceful. The way in which these
attributes get expressed depends on our individual choices.
In the parable of the sower, seeds
fall on four different types of soil. These soils represent a person's
availability to receive the message from God's word. How much joy and peace we
experience depends on the depth God's word is allowed to penetrate our heart
and soul. Seeds fail to produce when the soil is shallow or when it's polluted and
stifles the plants.
The
seeds God sows in you are meant to produce love for others and wisdom for
living. This takes place when we become vulnerable to God's purpose and plan
for our days upon the earth. Let love and wisdom be the soil that covers your
skills and abilities so these will generate the bountiful harvest to which
Jesus refers in his parable.
