You are a seed

1 Corinthians 15:38 "But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body."

You are a seed in God's plan for the world. You may appear to yourself and others as pitted, dried up,and useless, but God is the great sower of seeds.

He holds you in His hand today and sees all of your tomorrows. You may be the largest of the garden plants or the smallest of the flowers.

You don't make that decision, God does; but He relies on you to water, fertilize and care for what He has created.

Right now God is holding you in His hand just like you hold a seed. He closes his eyes and sees a vision of hope, success, happiness and as He fast forwards He can see the impact you will make on all the tomorrows you hold inside your heart.

The difference here is that God has given you the gift of choice. You are His seed and also the gardener. How you grow depends on the choices you make, the care you give, and your faith in His plan for you.

God won't make those decisions, you will. So let Him grow you as you and He make those decisions together.
