Become a Seed

Praying through my despondency
my loss of hope
waning courage.
As I watch the world around me in its brokenness.
And am painfully aware of my brokenness in it.
I hear a still small voice.
"...become a seed."
"You know what you must become,
you must become a seed."

A seed is nothing.
It lays in dusty dirt.  Powerless.
No self determination.

But, in God it becomes.

And that is all I need to know.
