"And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, choke the word and it becomes unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred."
So, I, to me, sound like a seed sown on thorns. I feel like I get way too caught up, worried, and concerned with the cares of the world and don't have a burden for lost souls. I lust after having a good life, a good name and reputation....and then God gets choked out.
OR, is it my concern as a mother to provide for her children and want them not to suffer or want for food/stuff. Yes, ultimately, I want to bring forth fruit, have my children love the Lord, but I don't want to be unfruitful while I'm at it. Like a selfish person who just takes care of themselves and no one else. I want to NOT be caught up with stupid stuff and worried, but go wherever the Lord wants me to go and do. I'm tired of being worried about food, clothing, losing weight etc.
Sigh.
So what do you think about that verse?
