Meditation: Are you quick to judge the faults of others? Jesus’ parable
teaches us patience lest we judge before the time is right. Jesus also warns
that there is an enemy who seeks to destroy the good seed of his word before it
can bear fruit. Both good and evil can be sown in our hearts like tiny seeds
which germinate, and in due time yield a harvest of good or bad fruit. We must
stand guard lest evil take root in our hearts and corrupt us. Charles Read said:
“Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a
character and you reap a destiny.” In the day of judgment each will reap what he
or she has sown in this life. Those who sow good will shine in the kingdom of
their Father. They will radiate with the beauty, joy, and fulness of God’s love.
Do you allow the love of Jesus Christ to rule in your heart, thoughts, and
actions?
"Lord Jesus, may your all-consuming love rule in my heart and transform my
life that I may sow what is good, worthy, and pleasing to you.”
