What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.

ESCAPE INTO FREEDOM


ESCAPE INTO FREEDOM
 Written and published by Jean-Louis 
 http://thelightseed.blogspot.com

The cage door opens and closes slowly
 Hesitating as in an off-beat ballet
 The yellow bird contemplates her fate
 To languish a prisoner inside
 Or risk everything and escape

 The stalking black cat plays dead
 Waiting patiently to hear a movement
 A flutter of wings indicating
The delicious horror of stumbling
Freedom is so close, prudence calls
To go unnoticed, blend with the walls
The feline dreams salivating with malice
 Fright overwhelms the fettered prey
 She trembles hoping for a rescue
Wishing for a miracle of deliverance

Suddenly the bird takes fresh heart
Remembering that she is blessed of her Creator
By more than the beauty of her plumage
She starts singing a song of praise
To her Protector rendering homage
And in a flight of notes reclaims her liberty

The enemy scampers off startled
By the powerful war cry
Shouted with invincible joy and faith
In the One who helps conquer fear.

Jean-Louis.

    This is better than Maya Angelou's Caged Bird. Because as important as civil freedom is, it doesn't compare to Spiritual freedom. Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed. John 8:36

      Thanks for your insightful comment, Mr. Unknown.After all not all freedoms are the same, some are freer than others. As King David said:Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God
      …6Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.Psalm 51:6-8
