Im back with a story to share =)
In this house. There lived a master & a young farmer. One day, the master gave a seed to him. "Take this and plant it." The farmer obey, took the seed and plant it outside his house, in a garden.
As it was still a seed, the young farmer gave all his time & energy on it.
Daily, he will bring his watering can, fertilizer and the essential things needed to grow this seed as it was his duty to do so.

Months passed, the plant grew. It grew strong & tall.
A certain day, the young farmer was doing the same daily routine.
( Getting ready with his watering can and the necessary things)
Whistling happily towards the garden.
When the young farmer entered the garden and looked at the plant, to his joy, a small red fruit appeared on the stalk.
Dropping all his equipments and stuff, filled with overwhelmed joy, he ran home to find his master.

The young farmer explained all his effort and how the fruit appeared on the stalk with
much happiness. (Simply speaking, from the beginning till the appearing of the fruit)
The master listened and was pleased with him.
"I have seen your effort and this I am pleased with you."
The master simply pat on his shoulder and went on his way.
As for the young farmer, (still in great joy)
thinking of all his efforts that have not gone to waste, he rewarded himself.
He went out from his house and took a day off from work.
The next day, the sun was exceptionally hot. It was so hot the plant that was left alone, withered. The fruit that grew became unpleasant. It started to rot and dropped on the soil.
Now, the ants saw this happening and quickly gathered all its troops. It carried the died fruit away with much pace. (shake head)
The very same day, the young farmer came back from his day off.
Felt the heat of the sun, he quickly went back home for shelter.
At that moment, the young farmer remembered the plant.
The plant that his master trusted him with.
Filled with much anxious, he went to the garden and checked on it.
To his utmost sorrow, he saw the plant that he once cared for daily was
withered and the fruit gone.
Now, just beside him was the watering can and the necessary stuff that was needed to grow the plant.
Without a second thought, the young farmer quickly gathered the stuff and
once again, watched over it with much patience and care.
Daily, the young farmer continued doing his work with even greater passion.
On one unexpected day, as he was doing his daily work, ( bringing his watering cans & the necessary stuff ) whistling towards the garden, the young farmer had the most pleasant surprise, he saw, hidden beneath the big leafy leaves was the biggest & most beautiful red fruit it ever grew.
The farmer jumped for joy!, plucked the fruit from its stalk and ran to show it to his master. When he reached the house, the farmer, short of breath, lifted up the fruit and showed it to him.
Greatly pleased, the master took it from him.
In returning, the master pat on his shoulder, with the biggest smile on his face.
"Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have make me proud in certain things. Come share my happiness."
Well, you see,
the master -- Father God
farmer -- God's fellow servants
a seed -- a soul
watering can -- Holy Spirit
nutrients/necessary stuff -- Word of God, Praying, Fasting..
fruit -- the heart of a soul ( moral values )
ants -- devil & his troop (why ants?) hardworking insects, everyday working without fail, finding food and exploring places all the time.
leaves -- daily life of a soul
garden -- mundane work
// Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
