QUOTE FROM THE POST: BEHOLD, THE SOWER WENT OUT TO SOW...

Grace and peace!

"The sower went out to sow.

As he was sowing the seed, some of it fell by the wayside, and the birds came and ate it.

Part of it fell on rocky ground, where there was not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because the earth was not deep.

But when the sun came out, the plants burned and dried up, because they had no roots.

Another part fell among thorns, which grew and suffocated the plants.

 Still another fell on good ground, and yielded a good harvest, a hundred, sixty, and thirty to one.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

(Matthew 13:3b-9)

Have you ever seen a field? Definitely yes, one of the sugarcane fields, or coffee fields, we've even seen some lavender fields on television. As you can imagine, these fields were designed to produce some type of fruit, but we see that not all of them can fulfill this function, as due to the type of terrain and the climatic conditions in which they are found, they become desert-like. Fields that cannot bear fruit; But why do I mention this? Because usually when I pray before listening to a sermon I ask God that my heart be like that fertile land, that when the seed, which is His Word, falls, it can bear fruit in my life.

The Holy Spirit once caught my attention when I prayed this way and led me to reflect: If you drew or captured your spiritual field in a picture, what would it look like, full of fruit? Or desert? I would like you to ask yourself the same thing. In our answers perhaps we could discover that our spiritual field may not be full of fruit, but have you ever asked yourself: where is the problem of lack of fruit, in the sower (Jesus), in the seed (the Word of God)? , or in the field (you and me)? Of course, the problem is in each of us, but not because we are a bad field, because let us remember that the Lord has already restored us, renewed us, given us a new identity and a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26-27), The main problem is that you and I, although we have been renewed, unfortunately either we do not believe in this truth, or if we do, we tend to forget it, which means that we cannot live in the right way, with a spiritual field full of fruits.

Let us pray

Lord, I know that you have renewed me and given me a new heart, so my request on this day is that you help me never forget what you have already done within me, and to demonstrate with my actions that I no longer live, but that Christ He is the one who lives in me, amen.
