What Type of Seed are YOU???

I was reading in Matthew today, and came across the well-known parable of the sower. That's what inspired my picture today:

Day 141 - "The Sower"
(May 8, 2010)

There are four different types of seeds: the ones that fell on the path and were eaten by birds, the ones that fell on rock and withered in the sun, the ones that fell on thorns and were choked out, and the ones that fell on fertile soil and produced a bountiful crop.

Jesus told his disciples that the seeds on the path are like people who don't understand His word, and the devil comes and snatches it away from them. The seeds on the rock are people who gladly accepted His word, but soon fall away when persecutions and trials come. The seeds on the thorns are those who get distracted by the worries of life and are consumed by them. And lastly, the seeds on the good soil are those who hear His word and understand it.

I know I want to be a seed growing in fertile soil. What about you?
