Sowing Seeds

Why is today’s harvest so poor? Why does today’s harvest yield hunger, violence, and war? We reap what we plant. What seeds are we spreading around the world: crass individualism, selfishness, irresponsibility, lack of accountability, oppressive power, our-way-or-no-way? Those are the seeds some are planting. O God, let the birds devour these seeds, let them be scorched by the sun, choked by the thorns. Help us, loving God! Help us to do whatever is needed so we can fill our sacks with seeds of justice, love, care, tenderness, reconciliation, and peace. Only then will be able to reap the abundance of life. -Wesley Study Bible pg 1179
