The Growing Seed

The secrets of the Kingdom of God require knowing who is in your heart, what is in your hand, and how your knowledge of those two things can make a difference in your life and in the life of someone else.

When you believe in Jesus and ask Him to forgive you of your sins, His Presence enters into your heart.  A Christian (a believer and follower of Christ) is to imitate His behavior and follow His commands.

Jesus knew He was the Son of God.  Everything in His Divine and human nature acknowledged His faith in God.  He used the gifts, talents, and abilities that He had been given to share God's love and wisdom with everyone He met.  His heart beat to the same rhythm of His Heavenly Father.  He was "The Seed", and He scattered seeds to EVERYONE.  Some seeds fell on good soil while others fell on bad soil.

Christians are called to live on mission to fulfill the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:19-20 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
In our spiritual hands, we hold seeds of faith to plant into the hearts of those who don't yet know Jesus.  The goal is not to see how many seeds we can hold in our hands.  The goal is to empty our hands by planting seeds in others so our hands are ready for God to fill them again.

What's in your hand?Do you have an abundance of old seeds that you haven't planted in anyone yet, or are your hands empty and waiting for God to give you more?
