"The seed cast in the weeds represents the ones who hear the kingdom news but are overwhelmed with worries about all the things they have to do and all the things they want to get. The stress strangles what they heard, and nothing comes of it." (Mark 4:19, The Message)

Jesus told a parable of the scattered seed in Mark 4:1-20.

Today when I read this scripture, verse 19 just jumped into my eyes and came into my heart.
Recently, I don't know why, so many things crowded in my mind, always thinking about what I need to do and planing how to achieve to the things I want to do, I don't allow my heart to rest!
I can't focus on reading the Bible, prayers, no time of meditation of course.
and it stops my spiritual growth.......so bad!!
I want to listen from God, but i also want to go on my way...I know I can never be satisfied with men and those worldly things, I want to follow Jesus....but.......
Thank God for His word...reminding me that I shall never neglect all these things I'm doing now, I think they are 'small tiny thing', it will not affect my relationship with God....but its not true! When I divide my heart into many tiny parts, distribute to many things, I can't never give my whole heart to God the One whom I should give to!

Let my life go back to the center, and let my eyes focus on Jesus---> that's WHAT I REALLY NEED TO DO!
