Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. Matthew 13:22
What kind of soil am I, really? Even in “good” soil, it seems, one can easily dig up stones and thorns. The cares of this world are just a thought away. But so is “the word [that] is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it”. Lord, help me.
