The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who
hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by
life’s worries, riches and pleasures,
and they do not mature.
So, what will you do with your life?
But the seed on good soil stands for those
with a noble and good heart,
who hear the word, retain it,
and by persevering produce a crop!
Luke 8:14-15
