Sowing the Spirit
the kernel, the essence
that part of Christ
that lives within us
Sending our seeds
out into the wind
that they would find a purchase
a place to grow and thrive
But the growing isn’t our worry
we are the sowers
the workers in the field
faithful to our call
The Spirit within each seed
planted into human hearts
growing and producing
fruits in God’s own time

Matthew 13:1-11; 24-30
“Waste and Grace”,
by Rev. Frank Gulinello, Jr.
” Jesus’ parable of the Sower focuses on the scattering of the seed.
No matter what kind of ground it falls upon, whether hardpan or
deep rich soil, God will have a harvest yielding a hundred fold.
So, scattering the seed aimlessly is not wasteful in God’s economy.”
