The Harvest is Great…

the harvest is great blogHe (Jesus) felt great pity for the crowds that came, because their problems were so great and they didn’t know where to go for help.  They were like sheep without a shepherd.  He said to the disciples, “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few.  So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send out more workers for His fields..”

Matt 9:36

When I read this my heart filled with awe and wonder.. Jesus felt great pity for the people.

His love and compassion is what draws us to Him…

Jesus asked the disciples to pray.  Pray to God for more workers to help with the hurting people..

Have you answered that call in Your life?

To me it’s a daily event.. To reach out, listen or sometimes physically help someone in need..

Heart’s are broken.  Lives are torn apart.  Money is scarce.. Advice is needed.

A smile, a hug.. A phone call or text…

“The harvest is great, and the workers are few…”

Dear Heavenly Father, I love You.  How I praise and worship You.. Your love for us is never-ending, Your mercies and compassion overflowing…

As I thank You for this new day, I pray I would be aware of the harvest…

That You would give me the desire and strength to reach out to someone In my day that may be in need… that I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to love and listen…

Remind me that it’s day by day.. moment by moment.  That’s all that is required of me…

Use my life, Dear Lord, to bring You glory.. to help the hurting and lost see Your great goodness and love…

Thank You for Your overflowing mercies…

In Jesus name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
