Once, there was this guy, who was in love with a girl. She wasn’t the most beautiful and gorgeous but for him, she was everything. He used to dream about her, about spending the rest of life with her. 

His friends told him, “Why do you dream so much about her, when you don’t even know if she loves you or not? 

First tell her your feelings, and get to know if she likes you or not”.

He felt that was the right way.

The girl knew from the beginning, that this guy loves her.  

 

One day when he proposed, she rejected him. His friends thought he would take alcohol, drugs etc and ruin his life. 

To their surprise, he was not depressed.

When they asked him how was it that he is not sad, he replied, “‘Why should I feel bad? I lost one who never loved me and she lost the one who really loved and cared for her.”

 

True Love is Hard to Get. Love is all about giving to other person without greed of gaining anything in return, if other person rejects it, its him/her who will be losing the most important thing in life. So never feel dejected.

 

If you've found one, please, stick to it!

MATTHEW 13:3-9

Key Verse: "But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold" (Matthew 13:8).

     A seed is the small, hard part of a plant from which a new plant grows. It usually comes in different shapes and sizes. The seed could grow and develop into a new plant if it has access to basic ingredients such as soil, water and sunlight.

     With these ingredients, the seed grows into a plant that would provide fruits such as apples, oranges, mangoes, etc., from which fruit juice could be made.

     Just like seeds, friends of Jesus need certain things to grow and become all that God wants them to be. Would you like to grow up and be a successful boy or girl? If yes, then there are important things you must give attention to.

(i) Read your Bible every day. The Bible is the word of God. It is powerful, it cleanses and helps us to overcome.

(ii) Spend some time to talk to God in prayer. When you pray, you receive strength to be victorious.

(iii) Attend a church where the whole truth of the word of God is taught and practiced.

(iv) Tell others about the love of Jesus.

     Now that you know these things, make up your mind to practice them every day. This is the way to sow good seed so as to reap bountiful blessings.

Prayer: O God, please help me to grow and be like Jesus.
