Planting Seed

Making ready the soil

for the planting seed,

Or posturing the heart

to embrace great love,

Requires a gentle gardener

and a loving lord;

God is both and one.

Lord God, let not Your seed

fall upon a stony path,

or rocky soil, or amongst

choking thorns, as my

heart can often be.

Please prepare this soil

for Your planting seed

that it may be good,

that it may well grow

whatever You will

in a heart open

only to Thee.

Psalm 10:17

1 Chronicles 29:18

Matthew 13:1-23
