"Then he told them many things in parables, saying: 'A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seeds fell along thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop - a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear.'" Matthew 13:3-9
You have to prepare. Some seeds are good. Some seeds died. Some seeds are bad. Just like society today. You have to prepare for all of the outcomes for all decisions you make.
Jesus taught in parables because His followers knew what He was talking about. They had be careful of false prophecy. Our seed is God's world. We have to be careful of uncultivated soil. All of this crime that keeps happening is the Lord telling America to listen up. It's time for us to cultivate. We have to teach the Lord. We have to teach them what is real and what is fake. When you don't understand, the evil one comes and takes away the heart. You have to stand up for Christ. Plant the seed in others. You are blessed because God loves you. Our world needs God in order to make improvements. We have to go forwards and not backwards. Christ calls us together. We are all equal and all one. We have to care about everyone. We need to shake hands and hug each other, not shoot each other. We need God.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
