The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. (Matthew 9:35-38)
I am again reminded of a message I believe God spoke to me. In a dream this scripture came to me in 2011. It was about a year after I started Asha’s Refuge and a year before we received our 501(c)3. In short, in the dream there were all these plants my mother gave me that she wanted me to take care of while she was moving. She loves her plants. It was a responsibility I was a little anxious about taking. A few weeks of her being gone I suddenly remembered about the plants I was supposed to be taking care of. I ran to the house with the sun room and wooden floor to check on them. They had all over grown and toppled over causing the water to spill onto the wooden floor and roots to come out of the pots. The plants were all dying and the wooden floors were bubbled up and damaged.
The message from God: The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few! Seeds have for years been planted but there are few harvesters. Who will be bold enough to grab hold of those hearts who are ready to take a leap of faith to walk with Jesus? So many have a ripe and ready heart from previously planted seeds but if Gods people do not go back to them and get them they may not mature and die. They could dry out if not watered. If they don’t see the sun (son) in us they may die. (Discipleship.)
People are ready, but are we?! People everywhere are looking for love but the path to Him is hard to find. (Seek and you shall find.) Love is God. Love is in us… Will we let them see love?
At any given moment, I am faced with people who are in desperate situations. People who share stories and their difficulties in life who express a lack of hope. These people are everywhere. They are from every tongue and nation. America included! There is much work to do, but few harvesters. Even Jesus said this. One reason people cannot see Him because of the overgrowth around them that is choking them (confusing weeds/confusion of life’s hardships, Satan and the selfish world).
