Title: THE SOWER AND THE SEED - A SAD STORY Post by: Josprel on January 07, 2007, 04:52:26 PM Poem
176 words The sower was faithful in sowing the seed, but careless in cultivating it. The Sower and the Seed by Josprel A sower sowed a seed one day Along life's road, a weary way, The seed of hope, of God's deep love, Of unseen things, of Christ above, Of Christ's salvation, strong and true, His sacrifice for me and you, This seed was sown one happy day, The sower sowed, then went his way. A sower sowed a seed one day, He sowed the seed, but did not stay, The seed did grow, not strong and true, It with no food could not renew, The strength consumed to fight the weed, No man was there to see its need, A sower sowed a seen one day, He sowed the seed, but did not stay. A sower sowed a seed one day, He sowed the seed, but did not pray, The seed, it grew, but sad to say, Was choked by weeds, what great dismay! Know sowers all, that we must pray, For all the seeds we sow each day, That sowers true, who cannot stay, Are yet responsible to pray. -30- © Josprel josprel@verizon.net Title: Re: THE SOWER AND THE SEED - A SAD STORY Post by: nChrist on January 07, 2007, 05:27:53 PM Amen Josprel,
Brother, this is beautiful, and I thank you for sharing it with us. There is definitely a need to tend young seedlings, try to keep the weeds thinned out, and water the young plant so it will grow strong. I think this is a big problem that we have today. Brother, trying to help feed and strengthen new Christians is one mission that I hope is being accomplished here. All of us can join in this task and pray. I already know that this has been a big part of your life's work, and we are very happy to have you with us. I firmly believe there is still a harvest and much work to do before JESUS comes to take us home. Love In Christ, Tom 1 John 1:3 NASB what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. |
