The seed of the gift may come, but a seedling that isn't nourished dies quickly.

About This Quote

Our hearts and the seed of our gift may come, but a seedling that isn't nourished dies quickly. When we don’t nurture what we have, we lose it. Our lives are like the seed of a gift: they come from inside us and grow in our hearts, but if we don’t take care of them and keep them happy and healthy, they will wither and die.
