“Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”
Psalm 126:6
Do you know what you’re doing in the morning when you have a quiet time?
You are weeding your garden.
You’re weeding the garden of your mind,
so that the good seed of the Word of God can multiply.
The next step is to plant the seed and cultivate His harvest.
When you go out to win souls, water the crop with your tears.
Read how the Lord’s heart broke over the people
He longed to embrace and love unto Himself (see John 17).
Learn this same sort of compassion
in the garden God has given you to harvest for His kingdom.
You touch many lives around you every day,
so make every effort to ensure they see Jesus living in you.
God wants to use many people right where they are.
Ask God to put you into His fields of service today.
Ask Him to make you bold, yet compassionate and wise to share His Good News.
Allow the Holy Spirit to control your words and actions
(yes, that means giving up your own inclinations and habits,
however you will be blessed when you do).
