This has been my problem:
I have not considered the fields
ripe for harvest.
I’ve thought of people as anything but
on the verge of salvation.
How differently we would speak
and act and hope and pray,
if we truly believed God is ready to save,
and people ready, even longing, to believe.
“I tell you, open your eyes and look to fields!
They are ripe for harvest.”
Jesus in the book of John, chapter 4, verse 35
