Look at all the effort we put into searching for, pleasing & trying to impress the opposite-sex....I wonder what our lives would be like if we chased after God with that same energy. Search & find Him...Please Him with your inner thoughts...Impress God with obedience to His teachings (Be different). Live a life that causes God to raise His eyebrow & look your direction with favor (^_^)
The Sower While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable(story, or moral lesson): "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown. "When Jesus said this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." His disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, " `though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.` "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rock are the ones that receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life`s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for thosewith anoble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. Which seed are you? How deep were your roots when you heard the word?
