The sower never asks...

I've been asking alot of why questions in my life. I don't know why i do this, though i've even asked myself 'why' about this too... i guess with when we experience injustice, loss and pain too frequently, these questions naturally come up. Have i done something to deserve this? am i suffering under some curse? Or am i just a random target for man, or for God?

This morning a friend said something that struck me. A sower never asks why he must give so much seed to the soil. I've heard expressions like this before, but I started wondering if i treated my losses as seeds, would my perspective change?

Jesus talked about the sower who sowed his seed in good soil, and on poor soil, about thorns and weeds that strangle, and the birds that come and eat the seed. this is just a part of life and growing crops. we do not hang on to seeds, we plant them. We never get 100, some seasons we mat not even get 10% return. All seeds do not produce results, and some crops may fail
