                     A Hundred-Fold Return

    Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.  As he was scattering 
    the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate 
    it up.  Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. 
    It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the 
    sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because 
    they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and 
    choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still other 
    seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, 
    multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."  
	-- Mark 4:-38 (NIV)

Stretch out your hand to those about you. Do not hold back. If you listen, 
I will direct you to the soil which is ready, which I have already 
prepared. There shall be a great multiplication, a hundred-fold return 
for My kingdom. You will find a great multiplication of My ways and 
what I can do through you.
