I experienced something yesterday, which brought the following thought to my mind. Don’t Underestimate the Power of the SEED (A Seal Embedded and Engraved by the Divine). The Word of God is the SEED that is full of power and encapsulated in love. There are many who’ve had the seed of the Word poured into their hearts as children who it seems that seed has died, but for many, that is not true. Too many are looking at the outer appearance and are missing the work that God is doing on and in hearts. We have looked at the paths and decisions that people have chosen and dismissed the seed. But God didn’t dismiss or remove the seed.
Many are unaware that the current circumstances of fear and the unknown is actually the soil being used to cause the seal of those seeds from years ago to break open, come alive, and awaken. Romans 8:38-39 in the Passion Translation says, “38 So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles,[ai] fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!”
God’s love is working on hearts, and many of us are unaware. Be careful of what you speak concerning others based on what you see. The dealings of the Lord are heavy upon those who walked away from Him. The joy is, He never left them! He never stopped loving them! He never stopped interceding for them! He never stopped wooing them! His love for them has never diminished! His love for them never weakened! Though people may have discarded and thrown them away, His love was never separated from them!!!
Out of curiosity, I researched the slowest growing seeds and plants and found the following. The Queen of the Andes (Puya raimondii) always dwarfs other Andean vegetation, but when it finally flowers (after 80 to 150 years), it soars to 12 meters (39 ft) in height and truly looks like a super flora. Amazingly, it grows to such lengths in regions with harsh conditions and at very high altitudes, where it seems impossible for any plant to thrive. When in bloom, the Queen of the Andes produces a towering, seed-bearing spike on which thousands of white, green, and purple flowers grow.
