A seed is just a seed until it finds the right soil to grow in. The words of the Bible are just pixels or ink until they find their way into the human heart. And when they do, they grow. They change. They produce results in the owner of said heart.

If you are somebody who wants to grow and change (for the better), who wants to be blessed, who wants to be saved-- then you need God's word to be embedded in your soul. You need to hear it. Take it in. And then do what it says. It sounds simple enough, but it takes more than will power. It takes a humble heart knows it needs grace. James is just the right guide to help us know how to receive the word that produces results in us for God's glory and our joy.
