Grace for your spirit
The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with the worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. Luke 8:14
Jesus told a parable about the Word being sowed in the hearts of men. Some seeds fell on the road, some on the rocks, some on the thorns, and some on good rich soil. The thorns part of the parable applies to most of the church members that I have met over the years. The Word is planted, it grows, and then after awhile the worries, riches and pleasures of this life choke off the plant. With no maturity, the plant eventually dies. Many Christian really want to mature and grow, but despite their best efforts, fail miserably. A quick analysis of their problem is they are being choked off by worldliness. While wanting to be spiritual, there is no room for growth because their life is already clogged with weeds. We need to weed our garden regularly and free ourselves from the worries of this world, so we can grow bringing forth a great harvest.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
