And He Said

“And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭4:13-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What kind of dirt is your heart?

Is it hard, baked; never touched by The Son Of Man? So that the seed sown is sown in vain?

Is it on the outskirts of the field, where there still remains some rocks and weeds? The seed comes up but gets choked out!

Was it plowed and tilled at one time, but rehardened after seasons of no use?  Hosea 10:12

Or has the Land Owner reclaimed the land that was once idle; unsuitable for His use? Has He broken up the hard places, run His fingers through and sifted the stones that would be barriers to the new shoots? Has He lovingly watered His seed to cause the growth needed to produce fruit?

A happy field is faithfully prepared by The Master Gardner, being utilized for its purpose!  It wasn't designed for a parking lot! It was meant to produce nourishment for the children of The Owner! 

I have been every kind of dirt and now I praise God that He's reclaimed my land!

Even so - MARANATHA!

From 9/8/13, 11/28/16

He's still crushing clods and picking out the rocks! Not finished with me yet! 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
