Today passage is Matthew 13:1-23, it is a parable that talks about a farmer that went out to sow his seed. "some of it fell on the road, and birds ate it. Some fell in the gravel; it sprouted quickly but didn't put down roots, so when the sun came up it withered just as quickly. Some fell in the weeds; as it came up, it was strangled by the weeds. Some fell on good earth, and produced a harvest beyond his wildest dreams" .
After some verses Jesus explained the meaning of the parable to his disciples. The seed is the good news, and the soil is different heart condition of those who hear the gospel. Some don't really care, some take with a open heart but whe the difficulty comes they give up, some can't leave the world to follow Jesus, and others understand and spreed the word to others,.
What is the condition of our heart ??

thanks for your reflection, fabiana. we often debate whether our heart condition is shallow (2nd soil) or choked by the cares and worries and desires of this life (3rd soil). too often i think our hearts actually fit the description of the first soil--so hardened that satan "snatches up" the Word before it has a chance to sink in our hearts and change our lives. let's pray that we are not deceived about this.
Thank you Fabi!
To figure out whether I'm a good soil or not is to look into my life and its spiritual fruit.
Yes, you guys have at least a fruit which was helping my faith grow up when I was there, and even now!
