“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.”
2 Corinthians 9:6 NLT
The concept of ‘Planting seeds’ applies to all areas of life. If we give a half-hearted attempt, we will receive a low yield result. If we fail to plant at all, nothing will result. I have to make sure I do not allow doubt or a belief that I am not able to stop me from planting. It is never more true in completing essays. I struggle to write like the essayists we study and therefore feel impotent. However, results show the value of diligence. Distinctions help me realise that perhaps I can do this.
Diligence applies across all manner of sowing: kindness, love, respect, and friendship. Our enemy will try and sow thoughts that the recipient is not really wanting what we have or that they are selfishly grabbing all they can. We have to discern where the thoughts come from, and rebuke them. Starting to pray for people changes our perspective.
Apply godliness, always! Amen!
