Scripture: "The good soil represents the hearts of those who truly accept God's message and produce a huge harvest--thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted". (Matthew 13:23) Reflection: In the parable of the farmer sowing seeds, we see the farmer planting seeds on several types of soil. The last of the seeds are sowed in good soil. This soil represents the hearts of those who truly accept God's message and produce a huge harvest. Well of course this all begs a question. Are you producing a huge harvest? I know I ask this question often. I first have to ask what constitutes a harvest? a lot of money, power, control, station in life, or maybe lots of material things. If these things are a harvest then I want out of the garden. I think a harvest is, after I have accepted God's message, I mean truly accepted His message, I produce a result received from acceptance of His message. In other words I produce a harvest. What I produce is exciting because I am excited about God's message. This harvest is rich and full of joy, this harvest is full of love and acceptance, this harvest is from God and it brings true joy in my life. The soil is good and I am good. I have a suggestion for you, plant your seed on good soil and you will receive the richest of harvest, you will receive a joy in God's message. Prayer: Thank you good that I am able to plant my seed on good soil. Thank you for the Joy I receive from Your message. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD!!!!!!!
