Jesus Gives us free everything we need in seed form
Once upon a time there was a man who had a dream. In his dream he was walking down the streets of the big city. He saw people living in
poverty asking him for pocket change, sick people being rushed to a hospital, pretty much everything that goes on in our society and nothing out of the ordinary. So he thought, until he saw a large store called “everything for free!” Curious to know what they had at the store, he walked through the large entrance door. To his surprise, he saw Jesus standing behind the counter.
Jesus said to him “Welcome to my store! In this store you will find everything you will need in your life. And the best part, everything is for free. You can look around and make a list of the things you want, and once you’re finished you can hand me your list and I will give them to you.” The man looked around the store, and true enough, everything he’s ever wanted was at this store, especially all the things that can solve the problems of the world: food that will put an end to hunger and poverty, medicine to heal all diseases, peace for the world, love and harmony in the family, and many more. He hurried back to the counter with his list. Jesus looked at it, and started to pull out small packets from the large drawers and placed them carefully in a brown paper bag and handed it to him. Completely puzzled by what happened he asked, “Jesus, what are these that you gave me?” Jesus explained, “I gave you everything you’ve asked for. I do not offer finished products here. I provide the seeds of everything, and you have to plant those seeds
and make sure to nurture them so they grow and bear fruits.”
Of course, God is perfect and He does not need us or depend on our work to accomplish His plan. But God chooses to accomplish great
things through you and me, imperfect human beings. God does this to bestow on us a sense of dignity and enable us to merit the reward of our labour one day in God’s Kingdom in heaven. And God does this by entrusting to each and every one of us a part to play, for us to make our unique contributions to building the Kingdom of God.
