Sower and the Seeds

ok...so you know how there are three areas that the seed is planted on? Dirt path, briars, and good soil.... When God's word falls on the Dirt Path, it takes root, but it is shallow, so it cannot remain, and the faith fades/dies away....when it lands in the briars, it has good ground so it takes firm hold, but outside forces end up suffocating it and it too dies and cannot sustain because of everything around it....but when it is in good soil it thrives and can flourish - because it's surroundings are also good and help nurture it to grow. the same can be said for us. If we try to maintain our relationship with Jesus on our own it may not sustain because humans are weak and fall to temptation, same if we are in bad or unsupportive company...it does not nurish us and can strangle us,...therefore, it is really good to be in a community of like-minded people who will both challenge and foster our relationships with Jesus so that we can all grow in love and faith together for the greater glory of God.
