Yielding

Mark 4  The Sower has scattered his seed upon my heart. If humility is the tool that keeps the soil of my heart soft and able to receive the word of God, then it is pride that keeps my heart hard and therefore barren.  Where are the places in my life where I do not see God at work? Perhaps those are the fields where I am trying to grow my own crops and be the sower in my own fields. Perhaps that is where I have become confident that I can do it myself.  Instead, I need to 'yield' to the sower for my soil to 'yield' good crops.
