I WANT TO KEEP ON SOWING

The Sower ~ Vincent Van Gogh

I WANT TO BE A SOWER
I want to be like Jesus, sowing seeds of grace,
not just to those I know, but to people every place.
I want to sow in kindness so everyone I meet
will get a glimpse of Jesus upon life's busy street.
It may be in a letter or just a short phone call,
but let my words reflect His love and care for all.
Seeds have a way of sprouting in unexpected spots,
whether they be scattered in gardens or woodlots.
We must sow the seeds and trust they grow a plant or tree,
knowing they may disappoint and ever dormant be.
I want to keep on sowing and scatter lavishly,
in faith then leave to Jesus what the results will be.
(c) G. Blank


.....Behold a sower went forth to sow; and when he sowed, some seeds
fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up....
But other fell into good ground and brought forth
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Matthew 13: 3, 4...8
