Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit. Matthew 13:8,23

Powerful seeds originate from the hand of God. They land in perfect soil ~ fertile, aerated, and treated. The moment they touch the dirt, germination begins, and with that first moment, the promise of something extraordinary comes to life.

Can you envision it? Don’t you desire it? I sure do. I want pristine conditions for these spiritual seeds. How incredible is it that heaven’s seeds can come and grow inside of me! God is generous to share them without requiring me to go to heaven first. “The kingdom is here, now,” Jesus said.

What makes my heart the perfect place to grow heaven’s seeds? I am perpetually open—ready to listen, eager to learn, and infinitely hungry for growth. I am prepared to set aside my defenses, embrace the possibility of being wrong, and accept the need for change. When these seeds land in my soil, no demonic forces can pluck them away. No unresolved issues will hinder their growth. There are no weeds in sight to suffocate the potential of this new planting. Exceptional results are guaranteed.

Today, I move toward this goal by inviting my personal Gardener to assess my spiritual soil. He searches me and knows what it will take to improve my soil conditions. He never passes judgment to declare me hopeless if I’m asking for His help. He gives specific spiritual guidance. He reveals every rock and why it’s there. He clears the noise of my worries when they threaten to take me down. His desire for my abundant harvest surpasses even my own.

I’m a picture person. Right now, I see Him slowly walking the pathways of my heart. He’s tilling and inspecting the soil, smiling at the possibilities.

Your seeds are empowered by resurrection ~ the same power that brought you back to life, Jesus. Help me not to hinder Your work by being resistant to growth. Speak to my spirit and do not relent. Amen
