Do you ever feel like your heart is hard? Shallow? Full of stuff you don't want? No matter how hard, how shallow or stony, how prickly or how stunted we may be (or feel), God is freely scattering and sowing the seed of the Good News of Jesus Christ into us. He intends this Good News to be fruitful, and He is committed to a fruitful harvest. So how can we receive and participate fully with His kingdom? How can our hearts be prepared like a good soil?
