The purpose of planting a seed is to reap the plants produce. Whether it's a flower, a tree, or a crop they are all planted with a purpose. It's important for us to remember that the Word of God has a purpose in our lives as well. The Word of God is not designed to add to our lives but rather designed to take over. When the Word of God impacts the heart of a believer they cannot help but produce the fruit of the Spirit.
