The word of God has a mysterious power to change us. The thorny patch that our lives may be currently experiencing could be Christ's way of calling us to a deeper union with Him. Experience tells us we have to work for anything that is worth having. Reaping the rich harvest of God's goodness depends on our openness to receive His word. There is good soil in every human heart and given time and effort the Spirit of the living God will put deep roots in our lives assuring us of our salvation.
