Fertile soil

Matthew 13 

Seven secrets to successful seeds 

You expose your seeds to the sun…and it can take it if you meet the other demands… of growth. Weed, water and waste. 

You weed your soil… Lets just call these bad habits and bad people. If it does not add to the growth of your dreams and goals Then pull it out of your life. 

I have had to learn over time to give more friends less time and to even drop some friends completely. I have also learned to drop some bad habits… to many times getting caught up in a TV series, reading books that don’t feed my spirit just my ego. Many men are just a few weeds away from truly catapulting their speed of growth simply by pulling a few weeds. 

You water your soil… Water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit - how much influence and say do you allow the Holy Spirit over your goals, dreams and visions. He is the Grand Gardener…give him room to work. 

Waste - You allow yourself to get crapped on… its good fertilizer.

Don’t let life get you down when things hit the fan… that stuff on the fan… its great for your dreams if you grow from it. 

Seeds have to die before they grow… don’t let the death of a dream or goal fool you into thinking it won’t ever come to fruition. You may be surprised… just hang in there and stay true to the process. 

You choose what seeds you are willing to get planted… The sower was sowing good seed, because he is a good man… Yes you have to have good soil, but beware there are lots of sowers out there who are bad and carry bad seed. 

And finally… the biggest enemy to growth is we forget how long it can take…

How many of us have walked away from fields that ultimately blossomed and brought great beauty and meaning to others who stumbled upon it.
