All through the Bible, our spiritual lives are compared to plants. A plant’s growth is not complete until it sows seed or reproduces.
Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. John 12:23-26 (NIV)
God designed us to grow by giving our lives away. Just as a plant does not fulfill its God-designed destiny until it sows seeds and reproduces, so we do not fulfill our destiny until we give our lives away. We want to help you give your life away and become very fruitful!
