the seeds

One night i opened my Bible Mark 4:1-20. This passage moved me, it never ceases to amaze me how the Bible really is the living word of God.
OK, so I was reading the parable of the sower, and how that there were three kinds of ground. Stony, thorny, and good ground.
Stony-the seeds fell on the rocks and could not grow roots.
-they immediately sprang up but had no roots.
-the seeds were scorched when the sun was too hot.
I think the practicle application to our life in this passage deals with how deep really do our roots go? Do we have surface roots, and when the heat (a.k.a. trials, tribulation, temptation, ect.) we wither? Or do our roots go deeper than that?
Thorny-the seeds had no room to grow
This one is fairly simple....what thorn is choking your seed? What part of the plant needs and wants to grow but can't because of the thorn you refuse to deal with?
Good-the seed produced fruit
-the seed had deep roots
-lived a long life
-reached its full potential
I think this speaks of how an ideal christian should be. We need to be susceptible to the seed that God is trying to sow. Let him plant a whole garden in your life, who knows what kinds of fruit it will produce. Which brings me to another point...Are we producing fruit? Have we reached our full potential as a christian? Now I know none of us are perfect. I struggle with these myself, but the fact of the matter is we have to till our own ground (which means your spirituality is your responsibility). God never said he would till the ground, all he does is plants the seed. It is up to us to make sure it grows.
There are several times in the Bible God uses the comparison of a seed. This is just one of them. So I think God is trying to tell us something.....He wants us to grow! He wouldn't sow a seed if he didn't want it to grow. And another thing, all plants grow, and position themselves where the sun is....yet another example of how spirituality is your responsibility. Also the plant never complains about what kind of ground it is placed in....it just keeps on growing toward the sun. We can't go through life complaining about the ground we have been given to put our roots in. We need to make the best of it! Find the sunshine (a.k.a. the Lord) and don't take your eyes off of it! Other wise you will wilt and die.
Have a great day:) Love you all!

Dear readers I think I am going to start posting again.....It has been almost two years since I last posted. Going back and reading some of my post really surprised me. I had no idea how much
God was showing me back then. It got me thinking God has shown me soo much since then, I have grown closer to him, and I am proud to say that I am still on fire for God. Continually each day he is showing me more people to pray for and how to be a greater light for him. So here's alil update on my life....
I am a Freshman in high school now. I now attend Rogersville Baptist Temple Independent Baptist Church. It is a wondrous church filled with loving people. I truly believe God sent us to that church. Through the church God has helped my family and me soo much. I once again have a church family that i love like my own family. I have a youth group that loves me and my brother, and are on fire for God. God has truly blessed.
God recently gave me a promise and I feel the need to share it with you.....I was singing in the choir one Sunday night and I got to thinking" God I feel like Job....You took it all away." Then God said" Hey Morgan read the ending chapter of Job.....He had everything restored ten times more....I'm going to do that for you. " When I herd that I just about had a shouting fit! He promised me that a while back and since then he allowed my father to get right with him...but he has lost his desire for the things of God and you need to continue to pray for him. Anyway if you ever get to feeling like Job read the last chapter.:)
One thing that I have been praying for is before the year is over that God would let me lead someone to Christ. God has opened the door in this young woman on my bus. She is a year older than me. One day she asked me why I wear skirts all the time. I told her God told me to....she didn't understand, so I told her it was a separation issue. Then she started pouring out all these questions.....a.k.a. word vomit :) I did my best to answer most of her inquiries but I don't think they helped her much. Just be praying that I'll have discernment about what God would have me to say and do in that situation.
Well that's all for now...look for more posts very soon love ya:)
