Sowing Seeds of Peace
Hosea 10:12
If you're like me, when you see a big project, you sometimes sit paralyzed, wondering where to start. When my room is a mess, and it needs to be cleaned, the hardest part for me is starting. When it comes to sharing our faith, we sometimes feel like it's a big project. We don't know where or how to start: so we don't.
What if, today, we can just sow a seed of peace? Sharing our faith doesn't always involve long, deep, intellectual conversations or brilliant thought-provoking questions. Sometimes our job is just to sow the seed.
"Plant a word of love heartdeep in a person's life. Nurture it with a smile and a prayer, and watch what happens. An employee gets a compliment. A wife received a bouquet of flowers. A cake is baked and carried next door. A widow is hugged. A gas-station attendant is honored. A preacher is praised. ("Grace for the Moment", Max Lucado).
Take a small step of love. Plant a seed of peace today.
"Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until He comes and showers righteousness on you."
