It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.

1Corinthians 1:18
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved KNOW it is the very power of God.
Isaiah 57:1-2
Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
Isaiah 43:13
“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.”

The Cracked Pot
A water bearer in India had two large pots. Each hung on one end of a pole, which he carried across his shoulders. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
Romans 9:15-16
For God said to Moses, "I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose." So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.
2 Corinthians 7:10
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There is no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
Mighty to save..
The foolish will shame the wise…
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (NLT)
Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
God called me when I was drug addicted and homeless. God used me even before I had surrendered. How amazing is that?
Prove it…
Matthew 3:8
“Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.”
