Spiritual Seeds

From: In Touch Ministries

 

1 Corinthians 3:6 "I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow."

 

Think about everything that contributed to the story of how you came to know Christ as your Lord and Savior. It's probably not possible to fully count all those spiritual seeds that God used to draw you to Him. And not all the people who sowed good seed into your life knew what the outcome would be.

We have the opportunity and privilege--every single day--of sowing seeds into the lives of others, such as our friends, co-workers, children, grandchildren, or even strangers. God takes what you plant and makes things happen! He leads others to sow further seed or "water" the ground. Little by little, truth gets cultivated in their lives.

 

God sees all the little things you do; He's interested in more than just "big" things. The fruit of His Spirit--such as kindness, patience, and self-control--often manifests itself in quiet ways that others may never give you credit for. But such spiritual seeds accomplish powerful work in His kingdom. And, whether or not you ever see the results, the Lord is using you profoundly when you sow this kind of crop.
