Then he said " The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few" Matthew 9:37 and Luke 10:2
Everything Jesus says in the Bible is important and it all has purpose so I believe that if he is making a point to say something more than once He is really wanting us to get it. I have heard this verse several times before but the impact it is having on my life right now is like never before. Being a "worker" for Christ like this text mentions is all I want to be about. Everything else has lost so much significance. I am about to graduate college in 3 weeks and where before, starting my career in education would have been my top priority. That has lost so much significance because God is showing me that I am here on this earth to be His worker and that nothing else really matters if it apart from Him and His will. I am not saying that I don't want to be a teacher and I can't be that "worker" He wants if I get a teaching job. I am saying that I am done trying to make Jesus fit into my list of priorites and selfish desires. I am erasing my list and only writing one thing "Worker for Jesus" or "Diciple maker" This is all I desire to be. Seriously! Nothing else matters. What is a life without Jesus? I do not want to slide into being comfortable in life. I do not want to be satisfied. I want to be broken by my Savior day in and day out because sadly that is when I seek Him the most and that is when I grow in knowing Him more. All I want to do is serve Him in whatever brings Him the most glory, honor and praise. My "yes" is on the table to do whatever that may be. We are called to be radical. I will not settle for what today we call "normal" or the "American dream" It is about being His "workers" and sharing the love of Christ and His gospel with the MILLIONS of people who have never heard. Go give them a chance to have the awesome all consuming love of our almighty Savior. How selfish of us to not go share this one of a kind love? It truly is all that matters!!! Carry your cross daily.
Hope you all have a super blessed week!
God Bless!
