Thinking on Mark 4:26 - 29 and certain aspects of my own life ...
Growth is not up to you
The sower does nothing to make the seed grow.
It is all up to God.
We do not actually know His ways.
We do not actually know how He will trigger growth in anyone's life.
Or our own.
God must be Sovereign to do as He will.
( ... and growth is dependent upon your not living a carnal life ... )
God is working
This takes faith.
This takes real trust.
Whether you can see God's hand or not, He is there, He is working.
When the seed takes root, this is success!
It is not about numbers, rewards or anything!
This is about what can not be seen ...
One size does not fit all
You must have patience!
All people, even you, are still a process in work.
Only salvation is instantaneous.
Maturity takes a lifetime (some slightly longer!)
So do not reject/condemn/judge yourself any better!
I guess the point of this parable is that God is the force whom will use what we have, use what we attempt to do, all for His glory and for His ultimate purposes....
