Living On Holy Soil

Living On Holy Soil If your life was to be compared to a seed recently planted would your life survive? Could your life be considered one planted in good soil? Does your life lack roots that would keep it from withering away? Viewed from a human perspective, we might believe we will live no matter where we are planted. The quality of our life may be poor, mediocore or even good in our eyes. However, in the spiritual realm how will your life fare? Could you say your life is evident of having been planted on holy soil? Could you say that the fruit you are bearing is a hundredfold, sixty or thirty? We are all living on holy soil. We are all called to be holy. We are all able to bear fruit that is plentiful. Each morning, examine your potential harvest from yesterday. If you are not where you could possibly be when your harvest is ready, take time to add fertilizer to your thoughts, water to your spirit, tender loving care to your tongue, hands and attitude. Each night when you retire, take time to reflect on your day. You will know on what type of ground you’ve rooted yourself in. You’re already off to a great start. God creates only holy things. Man decides what gifts he chooses to receive. Chose to receive the gift of living on holy soil. Matthew 13:1-9 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake. Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: 'Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen!'
