He asks from us our faith,
a seed to grow within
yet we fail to tender it
and continue in our sin.
We dig in our own fear,
plow in some self-doubt
until the seed withers
and raises not a sprout.
The root to all our evil,
is the lust of earthly things
all the worldly trappings
that our greed often brings.
We fail to grow in faith,
the truth we do not heed
to flourish in the Lord
He must be all we ever need!

Mark 4:15
King James Version
“And these are they by the way side,
where the word is sown;
but when they have heard,
Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away
the word that was sown in their hearts.”
