God Has Planted A Seed Within You; Don't Give Up On It Before You See The Fruit

"Make up your mind that you're not going to quit until you see the fruit of what God has placed within you." Unknown

 In and throughout our lives, God plants things within us. He plants ideas, passions, and inspirations that He is hoping we will allow to blossom and grow into the fruit that He has it to be. But often times, we get in the way of that seed blossoming. We receive the calling or the dream and we begin to go after it, but after a while we realize that it is going to be a bit more difficult to grow this fruit than we had originally thought. But let me tell you today; that, as simple as it sounds, don't give up.

 Now, I want you to think about it this way; picture yourself growing a plant. You dig the hole and plant the seeds within the ground, excited for the fruit that this plant is going to provide someday. As this plant grows you take care of it, you water it and make sure it's getting the right amount of sun, but now, if this plant takes a while to produce this fruit, taking up your time of watering it and such, you wouldn't get tired of waiting and rip this plant out of the ground, would you? No! Because you would hold out until the end to see the fruit that this plant bears, and that is what we need to do with ourselves! So often I feel as though we take this thing, this seed if you will, that God has placed within us, and we go after it, we put time into it and work towards it, but after a while, it seems to get a bit more difficult and time consuming, so we just give up on it. But my friend, when you are doing that, you are ripping that plant out of the ground! That dream, that inspiration, or that idea that you gave up on is the fruit of that plant that you are never going to be able to see! God planted this within you for a reason, so just because it's difficult or just because it takes up a bit more of your time, don't just give up on it, for the fruit of what it is that God has placed within you is far greater than you could ever imagine. He will take you to places you never thought you would go, He will have you accomplish things that you never even dreamed of accomplishing, and He is going to do this all because of that seed that He first placed inside of you. That seed that, hopefully, you take the time to go after, take the time to take care of, and appreciate.

 Nothing God does is ever wasted, so don't you waste this calling, idea, or dream that He has placed inside if you today. Go after it, for you are going to be amazed at the fruit that this little seed will bear.
