A Tiny Seed

IMAGE: A TINY SEED IN THE STREAM OF LIFE

     From the throne of God flows the Stream of Life, it flows down from the Heavens onto and into the earth on which we live. While it is flowing it reaches out to people wherever they are, whatever they are doing, it reaches out to them and nourishes that which is in all of them. A tiny seed, something so small in some that they have no idea that there is anything existing within them..

But no matter how big or how small, it is something that is being fed and nurtured within them.

     This person might not know in the beginning that anything is there, but God does, and He is making it grow, God is feeding this seed all that is required. Whatever is needed is supplied, whatever is asked for is received, and it grows.

     This tiny thing is called by some the Spirit of God,it is something that everyone of us begins life with, deep inside. Whether it grows deep within is dependent on us, on whether we will recognize it for what it is and allow it to continue, to flourish within.

     Dependent on whether we will allow the Stream of Life to soak into us, through our pores, through our eyes and ears into the core of our being, our lives. This is something that must be done in order for it to survive, to live in the ways spoken of by our God. This is something that we must do to survive as something of God. Not only is this seed within us growing and growing, we ourselves are also to be considered a seed that is growing in the same manner. Being fed, being nurtured, growing in the ways that He wishes.

In this way we grow in the ways of the Lord, becoming stronger as needed. We mature in the ways of the Lord because of what He is doing, what He is feeding us, allowing our roots to grow, looking for more of the nourishment that will allow us to flourish in our existence. Because of what He has done, and what He is doing, we are able to put out our roots into the Stream of Life, and become anchored in the word as it flows around and through us. We will grow to become tall, straight, and strong. We will come to be a stabilizing influence to everything and everyone around us. We can become that force that holds the land together, we can become the shade that will give comfort to those that are in need of it. We will become the shelter looked for, something that can protect whatever or whoever comes within our sphere of influence.

     We have the potential of becoming that stately old tree that so many come to admire and love. We become what God has wanted us to be from the very beginning, we become what God has ordained for us in the very beginning.

     Now in our maturity we will also find ourselves beginning to shed tiny bits of ourselves into the world around us. Let's say that that these tiny bits of us are our seeds now, our spores spreading out away from our being. They don't necessarily need to be our actual physical born children, they might also be our spiritual children as well. Those that have become part of us through association or influence. These are our seeds and they are spreading out into the world by means that are not always under our control. All we can do is watch as they go, spread out beyond our influence by any means that God might feel necessary to get them to the place where He wants or needs them. By there very nature there is within them something of us, our tiny seed,our tiny spark.

      Now these tiny seeds or sparks will now be opened to receive what they will from the River of Life wherever they might end up. What happens then is up to them. They have moved away. They are becoming or have become what you were in your beginning. And with whatever you have managed to instill into each one, they too can begin a cycle of life and living such as what you have done and are doing.

     The potential is there for such a cycle to become infinite in its growth. For this growth to become a small copse of trees, then a small wood, and from there a forest and beyond that a great forest. There is the possibility to cover the entire surface of the entire surface of the world with growth of all sizes, in all stages, bringing unbelievable strength and stability to every place.
