The promise of a seed

Every seed appears to have promise. From the outside one seed looks like all the others. It is only when we place it in the ground and allow the outside to die that we really find out if the inside has life. "Truly,truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal." John 12:24-25
