The Power of Planting The Seed

-
Have you ever held the sort of conversation with someone that absolutely refused to leave your thoughts?

One of those that continually lives rent-free within your mind and you aren't quite sure what you should do about it? 

Struggles are ever-present in our world today. 

Ten minutes spent with someone will make that perfectly clear---whether they were suddenly met with not so great news from their doctor or they are in the midst of financial ruin. 

Perhaps their hearts have a spiritual need; many souls live without help but even more of them live without hope. 

You can never truly know what someone may be experiencing. 

Live as a light in a world that's absolutely filled to the brim with darkness.

Live as 'that someone' who loves someone else enough to tell them all about Jesus. 

You may meet those whose hearts may initially reject the Gospel but please remember while it IS your responsibility to plant the seed, Christ is the only one with ability to save them.  

My message for today is simply this: 

You should never underestimate the power of planting the seed. 

Think of someone you've encountered recently:

Invite them to church
Pray for them 
Show them the love of Christ

You never know what He could possibly do through you. 


“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” (1 Corinthians 3:7)

      A new year has come upon us; as we're continuing on the journey of 2023, my thoughts are centered on the world and its current state of affairs. Every corner of the earth seems to find itself submerged in some sort of devastation, whether it may be from the effects of an adverse weather-related storm, the presence of sickness, or the aftermath of a personal family tragedy.  I would bet that every single family could probably place the name of someone they know into one of those three categories; the past three years have brought forth a number of unprecedented situations. I'd never before experienced the coldness of winter or the forcefulness of the wind as I did a few weeks ago; Christmas weekend was a challenging story for the ages, and as a result, the strength of our internet connection waivered for several days after the passing of the storm. As I began to pray for a way to kick off another year on Molly's Zone , the Lord led me to think about my own relat...

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
