"You Have the Life Giving Seed "
John 12:24
New International Version
24 Very truly I tell you, 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.
We all face difficulties and challenges in life, but you have to remember, as a believer in Jesus, you have the life-giving seed from Him on the inside of you. When you go through disappointments or tough times, you may feel as though you've been buried. You may feel as though you're in a dark, lonely place. You may feel like it's the end; but in reality, it's only the beginning. The fact is, you haven't been buried; you have been planted. That means you're coming back. And not only are you coming back, but you're coming back in increase, better and stronger than before!
In those tough times, you have to draw the line in the sand. Make a declaration, “This difficulty is not going to bury me. This loss, this disappointment, this injustice is not going to cause me to give up on my dreams. I refuse to live in self-pity. I know I am a seed. That means I cannot be buried. I can only be planted. I may be down, but it's only temporary. I know I'm not only coming back, but I'm coming back even better than I was before!”
