The bible says that the sower went forth to sow, and it mattered not to him of the condition of the ground.
The seed that he was sowing was good seed it was full of truth and it was sound.

Everyone in their life are sowing seeds every day, it doesn’t matter if you are living for God or not.
For the crops that grow out of our carnal sowing that also will bring forth a harvest, and oft times a plenteous lot.

I know not at this point what in my past has yet to break forth from the ground, for all to see the crop is my own.
I made choices in my youth that cannot be withdrawn no matter how much I wish I had not sown.

Since I know this now, what must I do? I must start to sow seeds that bring forth a goodly fruit.
These seeds will only be sown when my life is sincere, and genuine down to the very root.

The seeds that we should sow now, for we all would like to reap the fruits of these crops one day.
Are seeds like Mercy, think about the Mercy the Lord showed you, and sow these seeds in sand, rock, or clay.

There are other seeds that all will be hopeful of reaping for all want it, whether they ever sow any or not.
These seeds are the seeds of Forgiveness, and based on my past I know I need this in an immeasurable lot.

Think about the seeds of Compassion, and think on how the Lord’s Compassions never fail.
We all need Compassion from our fellow man, so why not show this same Kindness to others along this trail.

Then there are the seeds of Kindness, this age is so busy people don’t take time to do the simple kind acts.
But we all need Kindness to be shown to us at some point in our life and that should be a known fact.

With all the turmoil going on this crazy world, think how nice it would be if everyone sowed the seeds of Peace.
Wars and rumors of Wars, bombings by those that seek to oppress, and on others force their extremist beliefs.

I plead daily for God to have Mercy on me, I need his Forgiveness many times a day, how could I live without his Compassions, Kindness, and Peace in my life knowing the depravity that still lives in full force at times inside of me.
Certainly my life would not be worth living, and these attributes of God are bestowed on me much more than I deserve, so I should show the same kindnesses to others, and by living like this I’m sowing a crop that I’ll need, and be glad to reap.
