This verse is a great reminder to think about who I spend my time with and how I prepare my heart to receive God's word. I find it funny that just this evening as I was on my walk, I prayed that God would prepare my heart for what was ahead. Now I'm reading this verse and thinking, how am I allowing God to make my heart good soil to hear His word. It is time to let God sink into my soul and soften my heart so I can be in the best possible state to accept what He is proposing and make a larger impact on others, "produce a crop of a hundred times". It is humbling to think that God might choose to use me in such a way. And it is also quite nerve racking. I know that wherever I meet God and whatever He asks of me, I will more than likely be inadequate to do the task unless He goes with me. He has prepared me through the Spirit up to a certain level, but has left room for Himself to fill the missing piece. I love that God takes that much interest in me!
