Don't Eat Your Seed

Do farmers eat their seeds? Of course not. Seeds are a farmer's source of income. Every farmer knows that if they plant their seed in fertile soil, given time with a bit of tender, loving care, a harvest will come forth.

Seeds are a farmer's paycheck. Seeds are a farmer's future. Seeds are a farmer's investment. No matter how tiny these seeds may be, something worthwhile, something enormous even and tangible can come out of them. So, what are you doing with your seeds? Have you invested your future?

"What seed? I am not a farmer" you say. Oh, yes you are a farmer. God has given everyone the ability to farm. Farm your future. And as for what your seeds may be - yes my friend, you do have seeds. The ones your Heavenly Father have placed in your hands. That gift, that talent in you.

"But I still don't know what it is", you cry. Then prayerfully ask your Father. Look too at what you enjoy doing. Therein lies your seed. That burning desire, passion, ability. That 'thing' you apparently seem to do at ease. Tell the devil that no-one is without a seed because he will sure want to place doubts in you. Seek it and find it. If you don't try to find what God has packaged within you, then you may be eating your seed!

Please don't eat your seed. Plant it like the good farmer you already are. Wait a while and watch your Heavenly Father bring forth a bountiful harvest from it. You cannot reap what you don't sow. So get sowing. It may be your passage to your future!

I loved this. The only critique I have is you misspelled farmer once and typed "famer". Your essay ministered to me in a way you will never understand, because it was not for you. God used you to answer my prayer. So I have to add by "Eating your seed" not only will you be hindering your future, but you may be hindering someone else's. God's talent to you may benefit you some, but its mainly to benefit others and advance His kingdom. So thank you for sharing what God has given you.
Thank you,
