Daily Thoughts - The Beginning
"He said, "This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear." Mark 4:26-28
Go! Jesus teaches in parables, He tells us stories so that we may contemplate on them and realize God's purpose in our own lives. I sat in a pew for many years, being sprinkled with the Gospels, in a sense being watered by God. I went and listened but didn't really Go. Then the day of great commissioning, God was asking something of me.
Each of us has a divine purpose, something that God has placed upon your heart for you to do. He doesn't ask us to look at the results but to just do what He ask of us. Each day nothing seems to be happening but He still asks the laborer each day to Go! How it grows, why it grows and what it yields is for God to produce. We are just to Go, in the act of going, it is the evidence of our faith in God, this is what saves us. It isn't sitting in a pew being sprinkled, that only prepares us.
Dear Father God, the harvest is abundant and it seems as though the laborers are few. Yet I know they are there listening and waiting on the command to Go. Thank You for the gift of friendships that You have given within my days and the opportunities to share Your glory with others. Keep us safe as we Go into the briar patch, tending the garden. It is You that waters, it is us that scatters. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
