Fruit with seed

While, I was going through some articles, one of the magazine brought my attention, to a picture of a young man resting underneath a tree, the sun was out in its full swing to travel from east to west. May be; he was tired and hungry, so he just thanked the almighty, for the person who planted the seed, to bring shade and gives rest to the travelers. I,  pondered on few lines written in the book,

"The tree that God plants

Strikes deeper root, grows higher still,

Spreads greater boughs, for God's good will

Meets all its wants"

 Seeing, to that beautiful scenario, my thoughts wandered towards many things. The other day, we ate a fruit called persimmon, an exotic fruit. While, eating the fruit we got the seed of it, and my sister, after a week when the seed dried, sowed that seed with great care. While looking, on to the seed it was having a hard outer cover, which made me think of the provisions,  protection, and the comfort which God provides for each and everyone. She, planted the seed, watered it and nurtured it daily. Not knowing whether; the seed will germinate and sprout up. But, she has done her part to sow the seed. When, we sow a seed it does not depend upon the hands who had sown, but it is upon God to make the seed grow.

 God, is waiting on you to sow a seed. The word of God, is the seed, when we sow this seed in others, it will bring fruits one day. Fruits of love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Same, is the case with each of us, we can only sow a seed in the heart of others. Someone has said; "If you plant honesty, you will reap trust. If you plant goodness, you will reap friends, if you plant perseverance, then you will reap contentment. If you plant humility, you will reap goodness. If you plant consideration then reap perspective, plant forgiveness reap reconciliation. If you plant hard work you will reap success, If you  plant faith then you will reap a harvest".

 The nature, which the Almighty God created by his word on the 3rd day, As He said," Let the land produce vegetation: Seed bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." Lord Jesus, has given many examples related to the seed in the scriptures. God says, that we can expect a big harvest if we plant a single seed. A fruit comes from a seed, and this fruit has the potential to produce more and more fruits. Whatever seed we sow, may it be a papaya seed, a bean seed ,a lady finger seed after sowing if we nurture it, and take good care by providing water, and sunlight, it will grow and flourish into beautiful tree producing plenty of fruits from that one seed which was sown. As written in Gen 1 : 29" Then God said, I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."

Famous Quotes: " If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement."- Joel Osteen

You, have that potential in you, as you and me are fruits in the hands of God. We should be good and fruitful seeds in God's garden. Only the good seed can  be fruitful to produce plenty. We should be sowing seeds all the time that bear plant and plants in turn that bear seeds which are fruitful. By our small acts of encouragement, a kind word, a prayer or with our talents. Friends, Hope this blog will enlighten your thoughts regarding your potential as a fruit stored with seeds inside it to be used for the kingdom of God. God wants us to be perfect and grow in His likeness.  Please share comment and like. God bless you.
