2 Corinthians 9:6-10
Psalm 111(112):1-2,5-9
John 12:24-26

SOW BOUNTIFULLY
Like the grain of wheat that needs to die, we are often encased in the hard seed shell of our workings under the guise of prayer or activities but if we can place our trust in God completely then our tight little seed shells will crackly open.

It means we are letting go, allowing ourselves to “lose” aspects of life that we love. In the process, new life is emerging and we are growing in good ways

To what are you clinging that keeps you from fully trusting God? Can you refuse to cling to yourself and your present life, to “let go and let God”?

The gospel conveys God’s enduring love, unconditional mercy and forgiveness, and the commitment to healing, wholeness, and everlasting life.

This elucidates why, irrespective of our progress in life, it behooves us to retain godly qualities. Proceed courageously with the Lord, demonstrating undying trust and complete surrender. The Lord listens and nurtures us and He will be the one to lead us on the journey through.
