the seed and the dirt

My spirit was regenerated with THE SPIRIT. My divine life was born when I was saved. Christ is like a small mustard seed sown into my heart. :)

Sometimes when I am in some situations, it seems that God's presence is so small in comparison to what I am facing. I can easily let that overwhelms me. Like "Man, this is never gonna get any better. This is never gonna change." But when I stay in faith, keep believing, something amazing always happens. That little seed is going to take root in my heart and it begins to grow.

Think about an ordinary seed. When you plants it on the ground, the dirt on the top of it is 100 times more strong and more powerful than that little seed. It seems like the seed has no way to push the dirt out of the way.

God Himself and the His promise are like the seed. All the situations and trials are like the dirt.

I can imagine that the dirt says to the little seed. "I am gonna never let you go. You are just tiny little nothing compare to me and you are never gonna get out. "

I also can see the seed smiles and says "listen, Mr. Dirt, no matter what you said, I have the life of Almighty God in me. One day, I am coming out."

That infuriates Mr. Dirt. He says "what are you talking about? You don't have a chance. I am 100 times more powerful than you."

The seed just ignores him, goes around saying "I am coming up! I am coming up! I am coming up!"

Sure enough, one day the seed bursts open. The life of Almighty God empowers the seed to push the dirt right out of the way. Eventually the seeds breaks through the surface of the earth. It looks back and says "I told you I was coming out. God breathes His life into me." :)

As it's written in Act 19:20, "Thus, the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed." Amen.
