A parable — Legacy seed

A seed in the farmer's hand was tight and small. It was sure of its smallness. It thought it would remain a seed forever. The farmer dropped it into the earth and it disappeared. The seed never saw the tree, or the shade, or the fruit. But the tree it became sheltered the farmer's grandchildren. Ask yourself: What death of the seed are you resisting that the tree is waiting on? GOD — wait. Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. The legacy is in the dying, not the keeping. (A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)
