We often find it hard to be patient in a world where we expect everything now. But good things can take time. In this weeks series on Overflow, we are looking at the principles of seed time and harvest. SEED+TIME=HARVEST. We need a seed, the seed needs time to grow into a plant and then a harvest is reaped. The whole harvest is in the seed. We often ask God for a plant, but he gives us a seed, and we can be disappointed at this, but should learn to realize the power of the seed. God has called us all to be sowers, and not holders of our seeds. Good sowers realize the value of sowing every day, not knowing when they might see the harvest of the daily seeds they sow. Just as God calls us to be cheerful givers, he also calls us to SOW cheerfully and willingly. Those are the ones who receive more seeds to sow. It is when we sow what God has given to us back into the lives others, that God is able to fill our seed packets to keep on sowing! And lastly good sowers have more fun. We are here to overflow with the goodness, generosity and kindness of God into the lives of others, and that’s always fun!
