Pilgrims to home

When we were young and doing our own thing, we never stopped to think what kind of soil we were. We didn’t care! Didn’t about God’s word. It meant nothing to us, We didn’t understand it, nor did we want to understand it.

But now as we look back over our lives we realize, we were probably just too stubborn, like the rocky ground, not much could penetrate our thinking.

Some of us may have had other interests that took us away from God, maybe it was the immediate pleasures of what we thought the world had to offer. And it choked us. But, that was then.

Regardless of what kind of soil we were in the past, God, in his great love for us kept on sowing good seed, day after day came God’s word upon us.

And with his great love we finally allowed the seed take root, to be fed and nurtured and that seed is who we are today; God’s good soil. Today, at this very moment, we are being fed by listening and absorbing the richness of God’s word.

We are a different person today, a better person in the eyes of God and that’s how we have to live our lives, not by what other people may think of us, but what God thinks of us. He is our judge

We need to live in this world with courage, For God tells us, “Do not fear, I am with you”.

So, as we move forward on our pilgrimage to the next life, we carry God’s word in the good soil we have become. Challenges, yes! But strengthened, for, “Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are with me at my side”.
