And the one who received the seed in rich soil is the man who hears the word and understands it; he is the one who yields a harvest and produces now a hundredfold,
now sixty, now thirty.’
Matthew 13:23
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,”
a wise man once said,
but Jesus said "Follow me"
and the ones who hear
and understand the word
travel the miles
in His gift of grace,
laying down a path
by walking
with Him--
His love
waking,
glimmering
crosses--
winding through the provinces
of darkness,
as we struggle to learn
laying down ourselves
to pick up
another,
step by step,
following our Lord,
who,
like the earth's footfalls
and currents of air,
is everywhere.
