Growth

Thursday April 6th, John 12: 24 "Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. We see this enacted again and again, year after year, and yet, it seems to escape us, or does it? Jesus uses the metaphor to explain not only his need to go to the cross, but our need to pick up our cross and follow. The more we hang onto life, the less it becomes. As the days are getting longer and warmer, and as the green thumb begins to itch, see what nature can teach you about the God who created nature. The easy part is learning, the harder part is applying.
