                       A Word For The Sowers

And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into
a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke
many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and
devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much
earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.
But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root
they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up
and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some
a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him
hear!" Matthew 13:2-9 (NKJV)

The winter is ending. Your time of dryness will quickly be in the past,
yet take care what you do in these coming days.

Keep your eyes upon Me as you move out. Be diligent with your time.
You will be known by the fruit you bear, not by the volume of the seed 
that you cast.  Display My love to others, and they will be drawn to Me.

I have given you much, so walk in the humility of My Son. Practice the
same things that He did, for He came to show you the way. You are called 
to sow your own seeds. Optimize the results. He has shown you where your 
work will be fruitful.

Yes, you are a sower, and that is a serious calling. I have called some 
to prepare the soil, and others to tend the seedlings.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will
say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in
bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
Matthew 13:30 (NKJV)
