Seed Planters Planting Seeds of Gods’ Word
We're Blessed
To all believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we who sit in His presence preparing
to serve Him; those of us that are committed will climb high to reach our Lord and He’s waiting for us, to teach us
to go even higher in Him. Have a seat
at the feet of Jesus and listen.
This is what he said:
 "You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his
rule.
"You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear
to you.
"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of
everything that can't be bought.
"You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.
"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you
can see God in the outside world.
"You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you
really are, and your place in God's family.
"You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution.
The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom.
"Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you
to discredit me (Jesus). What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when
that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don't like it, I do! And
all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this
kind of trouble.
Salt and Light
"Let
me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that
brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?
You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill.
If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you
under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up
to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
