The Parable of the Sower can be an encouragement in many ways. It reminds us that the ‘seed’ (the word of God) will not always fall on receptive ground, but when it does, it can yield an abundant harvest. Growing God’s word can harvest us a whole lot of right goodness and nowhere we don’t want to go and everywhere we belong in freedom. To open our mind to HIm for knowing it is a gift from Him that no one can take.
{ Mortgage on the land is gone at last, and I am glad; it stayed a dreadful while, when the world was light and gray, I could not even smile; It stood before me like a giant sin, outstretched its ungodly grin; No matter where I looked, I saw the mortgage on the land. Then I dropped two chocolate covered Rasins on the ground. I moved my foot, and they were together. So, I guess it meant having the mind of Christ is forever.}

It reads in Luke 8:4-8 EASY> Lots of people were coming to Jesus from many towns. A large crowd had already come together when Jesus told this story: ‘A farmer went out to plant seeds in his field. While he was throwing the seeds, some of them fell on the path. Then people walked on them. Birds came down and they ate those seeds. Some seeds fell on ground which had rocks. The seeds started to grow. But the young plants died because the ground was not wet enough in that place. Some seeds fell among thorn bushes. Those bushes grew up with the young plants. They stopped the seeds from growing into strong plants. But some seeds fell on good soil. Strong plants grew from those seeds. Each of these plants made 100 seeds.’ When Jesus finished the story, he said, ‘You have ears, so listen well to what I say!’
