Luke 8:8:⁸ But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded ^[a]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Luke 8:15: ¹⁵ But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.^[a]

Mark 4:8: But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Mark 4:20: ²⁰ But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, ^[a]accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Matthew 13:8:⁸ But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:23: ²³ But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

We know we have good soil in our hearts when we hear the word of God spoken, taught or preached and we understand it…

When that happens it’s then sown seed that grows and produces and bears fruit for others to see.

Good ground is maturity, and 100 fold comes with the fullest surrender to the Father of your entire heart.

Good ground is the goal, but it must be maintained and cared for, diligently.

Is there anything more important in our lives than having that good soil in all areas of our heart?

If so, what is it?

As long as that thing is more, I promise you that will always be the thing that’s producing most in your life, always.
