Parable of the Sower
Some seeds fell on the edge of the path and were eaten by birds, some on rocky ground and couldn’t survive, some were choked by thorns, but some fell in fertile land and grew to the fullest. This is how some people don’t listen to God’s word at all, others listen at first but are too weak to live by it. Some people accept the word but others kill it in their hearts. Yet other people live by it.
