WHY DOES A PLANT "GROW' or "DIE"? - HOW IS IT DETERMINED? - CAN YOU AND I DECIDE? - NO! ????

WHY DOES A PLANT "GROW' or "DIE"? - HOW IS IT DETERMINED? - CAN YOU AND I DECIDE? - NO! ????
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies *within* us.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

It Is “God Who Makes It Grow”!
“Neither is he that plants anything nor is he that waters, but God who makes it grow.”—(1 Cor. 3:7)

????

We are aware of our wonderful privilege to be counted as fellow workers with God. Jehovah is the one who causes spiritual growth, blessing our efforts and the efforts of those who receive the message.

????

We realize that we cannot force spiritual growth in anyone. We likewise need not feel discouraged or disheartened if growth is slow or lacking. 

????

How comforting it is to know that our success is measured by our faithfulness to Jehovah and to the privilege that he has granted us to preach the “good news of the kingdom . . . for a witness to all the nations.”—Matt. 24:14

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

I dunno, I coulda sworn water and sunshine were necessary ....

Les plantes ne sont pas programmées génétiquement pour mourir
