Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. (Robert Louis Stevenson)

Working for the Kingdom
Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:36-38, NASB)
Lord, please increase my compassion for those who are dying in their sins. May my heart break like Yours does and may I be used to lead people to Jesus. Please give me a greater awareness of those around me who need Jesus and help me boldly share the good news of salvation. May I be used on a daily basis to advance Your Kingdom and Your purpose!
Lord, please give me eyes that see the pain others are facing, ears to listen to those who are hurting, and arms to love those in need. Lord, have all of me and use me to share the Truth of the Gospel today!
Eternity in View
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from the nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (Galatians 6:8-10)
A person can never truly appreciate the bloom of a rose without the work of another hand. There is always someone who has planted a seed, watered the seed, weeded the garden, taken care of the soil, and harvested the plant. We all need to make sure that in the act of our sowing, we are sowing for the Lord. He is the One who sees our heart and knows our intentions. May we sow out of the overflow of goodness that God has done in our own lives. May we plant seeds of joy, peace, and love. May we not look for the harvest, but know that God has plans that far exceed what we can comprehend. Read the following story and see what I mean. Read more
