Jesus sows the good seed in the world. He is the one from which all good things come and if we want a share in his kingdom, then we must be willing to allow him to sow us where he needs us to be. Jesus cannot force us to land on good earth and to grow in faith, hope, and love. We must allow him to bring us to those places where we can flourish in the faith. We do this by praying and discerning God’s Will for us. Most importantly we should make our lives a daily offering to God. Along the way, we will meet the weeds of the world and be challenged, berated, and persecuted for doing what is right. However, we must stand firm in the truth so that we will be able to shine like the sun and share in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Who are the weeds in our lives? Do we show them God’s love no matter what they do to us? Are we willing to let Jesus sow us where he needs us?
O Lord, sow us where you need us most.
Amen.
