I quote:
The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower. All who come to him will have life forever.

How often have I understood from years of experience that ideas are seeded daily into my conscious awareness, out of the blue so to speak leading me to appreciate that I am the earth (flesh) that will grow a healthy harvest, when I do all that the Constant Gardener asks of me.
7 You cannot fool God, so don’t make a fool of yourself! You will harvest what you plant. 8 If you follow your selfish desires, you will harvest destruction, but if you follow the Spirit, you will harvest eternal life.
~ Galatians 6
The Constant Gardener is never one to give up on those who are self serving, for in His love for all His children He never takes our no as our final word, knowing that a time will arise when we will have lost all hope in our own self confidence, providing Him with the opportunity to rescue us from our self serving life filled with emptiness.
Thus says the LORD:
Just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
and do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,
so shall my word be
that goes forth from my mouth;
my word shall not return to me void,
but shall do my will,
achieving the end for which I sent it
end
