Once upon a time in a sunny garden, there was a little seed named Sammy. Sammy was a tiny seed with a big dream – he wanted to become a strong and tall tree to provide shade and fruits for the animals in the garden.
One day, Sammy heard the gardener talking about the special care needed for a seed to grow into a tree. The gardener said that the seed needed to be buried in the earth to die, so that it could grow into something beautiful.
Sammy was afraid of being buried, but he trusted the gardener. So, he bravely went into the dark earth and waited. After some time, Sammy started to feel new life growing within him. He was changing!
Suddenly, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth, and Sammy realized that he was no longer just a seed – he had become a small, but strong, sapling reaching towards the sky! Sammy felt a deep connection with the earth and the sunshine, giving him the strength to grow.
As Sammy grew, he faced challenges like strong winds and heavy rainstorms. But he remembered the gardener's words and found strength in them. Gradually, he became an amazing tree, providing shade and fruits for the animals, just as he had dreamed.
One day, Sammy realized that his journey from a little seed to a tall tree was like the special journey of a believer in Christ. Just as Sammy had to die as a seed to become a tree, believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, which transforms them into something beautiful and strong, bringing joy and deeper spiritual understanding.
With a heart full of gratitude, Sammy continued to grow and thrive, knowing that his connection with the earth and the sun was a beautiful example of being united with Christ in a believer's life.
