35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Matthew 9:35-38
Even more so in today’s times than maybe in the time of Jesus; people are hungry and hurting and in desperate need of a Savior! “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”, will you commit today to join the Lord of the harvest in such a way that you live your life meeting the needs of others, all the while reflecting the love of Jesus Christ who lives inside your heart of hearts? Jesus tells us in another scripture, Matthew 7:13-14 “13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”. The road that leads to life is a life that is focused on other people; the narrow road that brings ultimate fulfillment as well as eternal joy and hope is the road that first and foremost loves God above everything else in this life and then loves others with the same agape love that all who have made the choice to accept Jesus into their heart of hearts have been blessed with forever. “The workers are few”, won’t you be one today as you live your life for the King?
