Once The Seed Has Been Planted

Page 40-God knows I needed some patience instilled in my life. Born into the fast life, I knew nothing about slowing down long enough to smell some flowers.

In fact, I was so quick, them flowers better not had been in my while I was on the move because they would’ve got smashed without me even knowing I smashed them.

I had to learn a lesson that would carry me on for the rest of my life here on this Earth: and that lesson was understanding the process of planting seeds. 

See, I was always so anxious to see results right away. I didn’t quite get the concept of allowing growth and maturity. I expected overnight miracles or something. 

But as I began to evaluate myself and realize how much time I needed to reach another level or height in my journey, then I became more interested in learning about planting.

It is something fascinating about putting a seed in some dirt, adding water to the dirt and watching the seed come to life in a beautiful form of a fruit, vegetable, plant, flower and so on.

However, when the process isn’t understood, frustration and anxiety tends to form; causing nervousness, anger, hostility, stress, depression, worrying, etc.

With all this going on, we lose focus on one important factor in order to see progress and that is: the seed has been planted! Once the seed has been planted, planters ought to feel great (and not the opposite) for starting a process that God may want to use another to finish.

Remember, God loves unity. And team work makes the dream work.
