It is a basic truth that if the seed is good and given with the proper conducive atmosphere, the life which is hidden in it would sprout. The farmers experience this reality in every season.
Jesus speaks of the seed that is the Word of God. This Seed is always good in condition that has life inbuilt. It carries with it a mission, a mission to transform.
But it needs two things to grow as in the case of any seed.
1. Protection – Always keep an eye of the enemies that may take away the seed, is the advice of Jesus. Who are these enemies and what do they do? They are what we see and hear, what we listen and grasp, what we imagine and remember and what we meditate and interiorize. They become enemies if we do not filter them properly in comparison with the Word of God. These things destroy the seed totally or partially and make us think that the seed is powerless in today’s world. It makes us to believe of different philosophies that are contrary to the Gospel. It blocks us from re-finding (repentance) The Word.
2. Provide the seed with good conditions – The conditions is the attitude that we should have in our life, ie, the Faith in God, Hope in His saving Power and Love that is forgiving.
