64. are you the good soil?

the seeds the sower broadcast

on different kinds of soil they fell

the seeds, they are the Word of God

Listen to the message very well

some seeds fell on the path

and the birds came and ate it up

Some fell on rocky places

it sprang up quick but didn't last

the seeds that fell on rocky places

where it did not have much soil

when the sun came up the plants were scorched

withered because they had no root -- growth foiled

Other seeds fell among the thorns

which grew up and choked the plants

but the seeds that fell on good soil

they grew and produced fruits, 100, 60 0r 30 times

let's look at this parable in a new light

aside from the lesson of how the seeds ended up

we know what became of them after they were sown

depending on the soil, whether they have grown

do we assume we are the good soil?

because we believe we grew and bore fruits?

but do we really? Come think again

look closer maybe in our lives, the thorny soil suits?

most of us grew quick and fast

and assumed that we have done well

when trials come our faith is choked

or when good fortune comes, it makes our heads swell

you and I are guilty

we are the good soil, we so assume

but we are told unless we bear fruits

and reveal God in our lives, let's not presume.
