Peace

Commentary written by Max Lucado based on James 3:17 - 4:3

'Want to see a miracle? Try this.
Take a seed the size of a freckle. Put it under several inches of dirt. Give it enough water, light, and fertilizer. And get ready. A mountain will be moved. It doesn’t matter that the ground is a zillion times the weight of the seed. The seed will push it back.
Every spring, dreamers around the world plant tiny hopes in overturned soil. And every spring, their hopes press against the impossible odds and blossom.
Never underestimate the power of a seed.
As far as I know, James, the epistle writer, wasn’t a farmer, but he knew the power of a seed sown in fertile soil.
“People who work for peace in a peaceful way plant good crop of right living.”
The principle for peace is the same as the principle for crops; never underestimate the power of a seed.
How good are you at sowing seeds of peace?
Pause for a moment and think about the people who make up your world. Take a stroll through the gallery of faces that are significant to you.
Want to see a miracle? Plant a word of love heartdeep in a person’s life. Nurture it with a smile and a prayer, and watch what happens…Never underestimate the power of a seed.'
