Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13.8 NRSV Bible)
A Western reporter interviewed Boris Yeltsin once. When asked what gave him the courage to stand firm and help insure the fall of Communism in the former U.S.S.R., Yeltsin credited the story he had read of Lech Walesa, the electrician who helped bring democracy to Poland several years ago.

Similarly, Walesa has stated that he was inspired by reading accounts of the civil rights movement in this country, led by the late Dr. Martin Luther King.

Dr. King has indicated that he was spurred to action when he learned of the courage of one woman, Rosa Parks, who simply refused to sit in the back of the bus.

We seldom know the potential of the seed we will sow. God gives us seeds. It's up to us how we are going to use the seeds we are given. If we water and nurture the seed, however, at harvest time the yield will be fantastic, beyond belief.

Lord Jesus, help me to sow seeds of love and hope. In your name I pray. Amen.
