There are 4 types of soil

1) Wayside means "Hodos" in Hebrew

It is representative of life's journey.

The Word of God may be sowed upon one's lifetime journey from childhood, teen, young adult, middle age, senior.

But it doesn't mean it will take root and grow immediately.

When people hear the Word of God, it must pass through their understanding, which is judgement.

Our judgement is then based on one's life experiences as well as the people who come into contact with us.

Only when God's Word starts to penetrate and take root in our lives then we'll experience that life changing transformation.

I'm only at the starting of my journey and I marvel at God's invisible hand in my life. He made me see the beauty in things, how ties can be reconciled.
