John 4:35
"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?
"Behold, I Say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the Fields"
"For they are white already to harvest"
Never has this world known a shortage of places where we can begin telling others about the love of God. The fields are ripe,and the grain is ready to be harvested. If you are not leading new believers to faith, it is not because the world is not interested in Christ. As a matter of fact, the entire world is interested in the Kingdom of God.. Many feel that the world has grown so secular that people have lost interest in the good news. Not so! There is plenty of evidence that everybody wants to know how to replace the deadness at the center of their souls with meaning.
Like the women at the well, the world is tired of the dull routine of hauling water and finding the next drink less tasty than the last. All the faces you see at your work, or market or even when on vacation; The faces are smeared with question marks. They want to know if there is any good reason to get up of in the morning. They are tired of trying to make anything meaningful in there lives.
See this people as better than they are, and you will love them for what they can be. As of the moment, the picture may be glum. They seem to be the most drunken, criminal, divorced culture that has ever crossed the globe. These people are waiting, like an overripe harvest, for you to come along and help them. They won't hate you for trying to help them to a better life. They will love you for doing it. You will likely never do it unless you accomplish Jesus' simple little commandments, "Lift up your eyes unto the fields. They are ripe already to harvest." The first step is looking. The rest is an act of courage where Christ empowers you and you begin to serve him.
May God Bless You
