We must guard our hearts with all diligence because from it are the issues of life. Staying watered, weeded, and watched will help insure a God glorifying harvest.

 

Stay cultivated my friends

Q3. (Matthew 13:23) Even good soil can have factors that hinder growth in various parts of the field, or make some areas grow taller and fuller wheat. What factors make a disciple especially good soil for the growth of the word or message of the Kingdom? The person with receptive heart that hears the Word is a disciple with good soil. He that understands the Word and yields a large crop is the disciple that will stay for the long haul. 

What might be the reasons for 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold growth?  This is in reference to the harvestable crop that bears good fruit. The good-hearted farmer will succeed in because he will have seeded his crops with the fruit of the Holy Spirit, a godly trait that one develops once we yield to God's teachings. The farmer will also have  spiritual gifts from which to succeed in all his endeavors.  The growth of the crop is going to depend largely on how the farmer-- or disciple-- uses the gifts that God bestows on him.
