Matthew 9:35-38 (ESV)
35 And Jesus went throughout
all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the
gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When
he saw the crowds, he had compassion for 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 laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to
the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
I LOVE March, because one of
my favorite fruits the strawberry is in season!
Not only are strawberries
great to eat I have learned that strawberries plants are used by many people as
a ground cover and as an ornamental plant. Strawberries are good for that; if
permitted, they will take over a garden area and spread and spread and spread!
Just as the strawberry plant
will spread over an area, so our Christian influence is capable of spreading
everywhere we go. It's sort of the "bloom where you are planted"
idea, but it happens naturally when we are fertilized by the Holy Spirit's presence.
As a follower of Christ, your
influence can surpass your expectations. It is in the daily routine of life
that your faith can make the biggest impact. Sweeter than any strawberry, as
you live for Jesus in "all the towns and villages", you reveal Christ
in a way that enables people to "Taste and see that the Lord is
good..." Psalm 34:8.
Dear Lord, we thank You for
the many reminders that You have given us of Your love. Help us be ready to go
and harvest the souls that are ready for You today. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
