A seed can’t help but rise up
from the darkness where it lay.

It has to.

It must sprout upwards,
It must see the sun,
It must unleash all power
stored within itself.

It knows its destiny,
that it must break out from its grave
and LIVE,
that it must grow,
that it must bear fruit
and then raise its arms up to heaven
in thanksgiving and praise!

The Prayer of a Child

The prayer of a child
is often answered.

It is answered
because it is pure.

It is answered
because it has no fear.

It does not think about the past,
it does not worry about the future.

It is not ashamed to express the truth,
it is not ashamed to express how it feels.

Have you ever noticed how God chooses the people he’d send for an important mission?  More often than not, these chosen people seem to be the most unlikely ones for the job.  Take the example of his chosen disciples.  Most of them are simple fishermen.  He could have chosen more educated men, priests, or more influential men so as to help him spread the message of the Gospel more expediently. But He did not.  Instead, God chose the humblest amongst his people and ignored the claims of the proud.

Why does God choose the most unlikely people for the job?

1.  God often use the weakest among us so that we’d know how His power works.  If He would always choose only the brightest and the strongest men, people may soon forget from whom true leadership and power comes from.  People would look up to men instead of looking up to God.

What is wrong with this?  If there are men who are really competent and able, what is wrong with looking up to their qualifications alone?
