Some seed fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow. (Matthew 13:5)
But a shallow life lives on its impulses, impressions, intuitions, instincts, and largely on its curcumstances. Those with profound character, however, look beyond all these and move steadily ahead, seeing the future, where sorrow, seeming defeat, and failure will be reversed. They sail right through storm clouds into the bright sunshine, which always awaits them on the other side.
Once God has deepened us, He can give us His deepest truths, His most profound secrets, and will trust us with greater power.
(A.B. Simpson)
