Gospel Reflections #595: The Field of our Hearts?

Mark 4:14 “He who sows seed sows the Word of God."

God has sown the Word of God in us through the Bible.

God sowed the Word of God in us through Jesus.

And through the Holy Spirit, God is nurturing the seeds He has sown in us.

God has provided us with the seeds and everything we need for them.

The problem is us, the field.

The question is whether we are a stony field, a field full of weeds, or a fertile field.

But whatever the condition of our field, God will take care of it so that the seed will grow; if we know the condition of our field, face it as it is, and ask our Maker for help. Then, fruit will be borne, and the seed will increase.

Through this experience, we share the seed with our neighbors.

Even if the neighbor's field is ticky-tacky, God will make the seed grow by interceding with God and continuing to sow the seed without giving up.

And when the time comes, that seed will bear fruit to the fullest, multiplying and multiplying, bursting forth and spreading.

Such miraculous ways of God abound everywhere in the natural world!
