He is a man, who is to be a man; the fruit is always present in the seed.
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
The seed of every sin is in every heart.
Faith is the avenue to salvation. Not intellectual understanding. Not money. Not your works. Just simple faith. How much faith? The faith of a mustard seed, so small you can hardly see it. But if you will put that little faith in the person of Jesus, your life will be changed. He will come with supernatural power into your heart. It can happen to you.
Depression is a death within, a knowledge - terrifying - that you cannot resurrect yourself. Depression is loss of the vision that lets leaves breathe and fall, that lets the air smell of seed and soil. And there must be rage, yes I think there is rage toward such a severing, such a ragged-deep rupture with the world.
Any fear associated with giving to God's kingdom is irrational. It's on par with a farmer who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuses to plant his fields.
You don't plow under the corn because the seed was planted with a neighbor's shovel.
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
Where the plow does not go and the seed is not sown, the weeds are sure to multiply.
The most important seed I can sow in this life is my children, and the love and knowledge that I can bestow upon them and the help I can give them.
The seed dies into a new life, and so does man.

Nobody knows when you make an effort or when you plant a seed if it will bear fruit or not.

There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good.
The children of believing parents, at least their next and immediate seed, even of us Gentiles now under the gospel, are included by God within the covenant of grace.
The aristocrat is the democrat ripe, and gone to seed.
The best gift you can ever give your mentor is to grow. They feed off your growth. I believe that everyone has the seed of success inside, but too many people can't find it in themselves and as a result do not reach their potential. But there are those whose purpose in life is to fertilize the seed of potential in another, who are rewarded by seeing that person grow and blossom before their eyes. Raising up others to a higher level is a mentor's joy and sustenance.
We are born with the seed of joy; it is up to us to nurture it.
On and on eternally Shall your altered fluid run, Bud and bloom and go to seed; But your singing days are done
