UNLESS A GRAIN FALL & DIE...Fran's Friday Forum...!!!

By

At morning Mass yesterday that famous passage was read: Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies...It remains just a grain of wheat...

 

I challenge all reading this to locate that Scripture passage and read the rest of the passage that follows...

 

It’s not really about agriculture, it’s about Mathematics and Multiplication...

 

In real estate parlance it's about LEVERAGING...!!!

 

My kids laugh and rib me when, at a baseball game with men on 2nd and 3rd, I yell something like 1 = 2...meaning that 1 single will usually yield 2 runs...It’s more about encouragement than

wanting to win...

Our Good God is like that...He wants to see us win, to be encouraged, to multiply, to let as many people see the Holy Spirit in us as possible as we venture on our daily journey through life here on Earth...

 

It’s not about ‘protecting the precious seed’... it’s all about letting it go, letting it die, letting ourselves become vulnerable...just like that tiny grain of wheat...We must ‘die to self’ so we can ‘grow with God’...

 

RISKY BUSINESS...???

 

No, not really, because our Creator does it all...we merely cooperate with his AMAZING GRACE and our FREE WILLS...It’s kinda like hitting the lottery...we INVEST little but our RETURN is unbelievable...

 

What a partnership...His POWER, STRENGTH, MIGHT, JUSTICE, MERCY, AND LOVE, and our little pittance of a seed...!!!

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND and LET GO, LET GOD...!!!

Amen Fran, dying to self is definitely hidden from the mind of the average christian and all non christians.

Mike,

At the risk of sounding judgemental, SELFLESSNESS is a virtue that's losing ground quickly...!!! Even among atheists, those that are truly searching for the truth seem to be a dwindling number...!!!

Thanks,   Fran
