Seed of faith


A few days ago, suddenly, an idea struck my head. Once you put a seed in the soil, it will grow everyday till it reaches the adult growth. By then, the plant is very tough to pull out of the soil. Why? According to the common sense, it has the roots in the soil. Either the soil has to be dug out or the plant is to be chopped off.
Likewise, our faith is like the plant. Once you believe and continue to believe it everyday, your faith is very difficult to pull out unless a lot of strength or some intelligent is used to pull it out.
So I have my own plant in the Catholic faith. To water it everyday is to pray always. To nourish it everyday is to read the Scripture daily. Catholic faith is the soil which I believe to be the remarkably best among all kinds of soils. The fruits I bear are my consequences of my actions, thoughts and words. The strength and size of the plant depends on the convincing power of what you believe. I believe my plant will be like enormous Oak tree which is impossible to remove.
