e-i-e-i-ohhh... it’s good and godly wise to offer
seeds of the Good News widely,
even seemingly wastefully with faithful flings,
even upon ground that appears to be infertile or hostile to new life.
We hope and
trust that, through God’s Spirit, some will take hold in fertile soil (perhaps
unseen) and yield fruit abundantly (even after we’ve moved on to other mission
fields).
It’s also good and godly wise
to be mindful of the rocky roads and thorny thickets of in our own hearts, and occasionally
til our own soil, asking for God’s help and worms of grace to make creative use
of inevitable natural crap and other compost to better prepare our soulful
selves for the acceptance, cultivation, and sharing of Christ-like love.
