🌱 “A seed must be sown to grow…” “For a seed to grow, it must be sown; likewise, we must surrender ourselves to God so that His glory may be revealed through us.” When a seed is sown into the soil, it may appear as though it has been buried and lost. From the outside, nothing seems to be happening. But beneath the soil, a new life has begun. Because the seed is willing to give up its present form, it eventually emerges as a plant and grows into something greater. In the same way, there may be seasons when completely surrendering ourselves into God’s hands feels like a “hidden season.” But God does not bring us into such seasons to destroy us; He brings us there to create something new within us. Jesus said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” (John 12:24) True spiritual growth begins when we let go of “my way” and surrender to say, “God, let Your way be done in my life.” A seed remains in darkness beneath the soil, where it cannot see the light, yet its roots grow deeper. Likewise, during the hidden seasons God allows in our lives, it may appear to others that we are not progressing. But God may be deepening our faith, developing our character, breaking our self-will, and teaching us to depend on Him alone. Therefore, being sown into the soil is not a season to fear; it is a season to surrender completely to God. If a seed resisted being buried in the soil, it could never become a tree. In the same way, if we continually resist God’s process, we may not grow into the fullness of what He desires to reveal through our lives. Surrender yourself into God’s hands. What you think you are losing may actually be the new life God is developing within you. A seed does not end when it is buried it begins to grow. Likewise, it is when we completely surrender to God that His glory begins to be revealed through our lives. Hepsi Sam ✍️
