seeds of growth
DESCRIPTION
The spiritual discipline of leaving something that you can not control, unto GodTRANSCRIPT
``Don't judge each day by the harvest
you reap, but by the seeds you plant`` - Robert Louis Stevenson
A seed is scattered on the ground –It is left alone
– and yet it grows
An ancient story tells us that this is how God
works
Small seeds are scattered,
they grow, and become great things
This is how we feel when we are scattered, when we have
too much to do, when life
overwhelms us
When you feel this way think about
this
Scattering causes rays of sunlight to be redirected to a new direction after hitting a particle in the atmosphere
This factor is what
causes our sky to look
blue
If scattering did not occur
in our atmosphere, the daylight
sky would be black.
Seems like scattering
is significant.
So be scattered…Give things
over to God and let them
be
Don`t despair when things don't
work out. ``Every failure or adversity has the
seed of an equivalent or greater benefit``.- Napoleon Hill
Knowing how to give things over
to God and being able to leave them there is
essential to our spiritual health.
This is not necessarily
difficult, thought it does not feel easy – learning to let things be
is a constant practice.
There are lots of things you can`t control .
You can control how you behave.
Sometimes we get so busy, trying to figure
out where we are going and how we will get there, that we feel
scattered, and when that happens…take heart… for it is in
scattering that God’s work is done.
“Think small.
Planting tiny seeds in the small space
given you Can change the whole
world or, At the very least, your
view of it." - Linus Mundy
This is our faith tradition, not a
book of answers but a life of
question…best summed up with
this reminder
"Only God can make a tree,
but I'm in charge of seeds and weeds!" -
