All just seeds

Perhaps Spring is still far off, but the parable of the scattering seeds told by Jesus in Matthew ch13 is relevant today. He speaks of seeds falling on four types of ground and how they live and die. He goes on to explain that we are the seeds and the soil type it falls on is how we receive and respond to the Word of God. Do we embrace the Word and get excited, only to fade? Rocky soil. Do we hear it, but life is too busy and worries too great? Thorns. Do we miss is completely because we don't try to understand? Path. Good soil is different. It is deep and rich. Spending time cultivating relationships is crucial. The one with God is similar in that it takes time and effort. But it is worth it. Jesus noted a bountiful crop, exceeding what was planted. Build it in prayer!
