Love Is a Seed

Love is a seed When it is planted in fertile soil it grows When it is planted amongst thorns and thistle it is choked out It cannot flourish when the enemy tries to choke it It cannot flourish when the vultures come to pick over it Love is a seed Have you ever planted a seed of love? Have you ever watched another one’s grow? It is a most spectacular plant ever so silently growing from its encasement Once the outer shell of the seed softens the seedling emerges It sneaks up through the soil to grasp the light with its tender leaves It reaches up through the fertile soil and seeks nourishment and light The sun photosynthesizes its energy upon it Have you ever seen a weed? Have you ever seen a weed as it suffocates the harvest? As it strangles out all the healthy plants that are meant for food? Have you ever got on your knees to pray and pull spiritual weeds? All the while knowing that the weed pulling is up to you the gardener? This is a metaphor This is a poem Its basis is solely from the Words of Our Savior Jesus In order for seeds of love to grow we must plan for the harvest In order for seeds to grow we must be on our knees in prayer Come and sit at the feet of our Savior and pull some spiritual weeds today! Your harvest will be bountiful and it will shine amongst the best gardens in the world! Gwendolen Rix 8-21-14
