"Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God." -I Peter 1:22-23 (NASB)
It's getting to be that time of year when the squirrels are busily gathering acorns and preparing to store them for the winter season. The red and gray squirrels prepare for winter a little differently. The red squirrels prepare larger stashes of acorns, while the gray squirrels scatter their stored acorns. There are advantages to each system, but undoubtedly there are buried acorns that are either unneeded or forgotten. Given enough time and the right conditions, these planted and forgotten acorns can grow into large oak trees!
As we prepare for each day of our lives, we can choose how to plant our seeds of love. We can choose to hoard them and store them in one "safe" place, or we can choose to scatter the seeds everywhere we go. Even if we don't return for or unable to watch the seeds we've planted, the seeds of love that we plant may grow into large "trees" of love. When you share love, it won't spoil or perish. The seeds that we have to share are rooted in God's word and will last forever!
Plant seeds of love by showing respect, being honest, and being nice! You never know how large these seeds may grow!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the gifts of forgiveness and love. Help me to scatter the seeds of Your love to everyone I meet. Allow each seed to grow and show glory for You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
