“Hear this! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain. And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.” He added, “Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.” -Mark 4:3-9

The Holy Spirit sows His seed on the good and bad alike, on you and me. When the Father overlooks His fields afterward, what will he find? When He sees us, does He find rich soil and a prosperous yield, or rocky ground and wasted seed?

Through God’s grace and much patience, even rocky ground may be broken up to yield abundant fruit. The Lord will never stop working His ground, for He knows the potential in every piece. So, work your soil with the Lord. With Him, you can change that rocky soil and watch it begin to yield good fruit.

Saint Francis de Sales, pray for us.
