“Following Jesus and Loving People”
This morning, I heard a friend of mine share about a secret of ministry which develops “staying power”. She spoke about the Word of God as seeds. Although small and unseen by most, seeds contain the power of life and will bear fruit at the right time. The actions of faithful obedience on our part deposits those seeds into the hearts of others. Sometimes, we get discouraged because we don’t see the immediate “cause-effect” dynamic. As I was painting at the church the other day, I realized how manual labor and ministry are so different. After painting a wall, I stepped back and admired the immediate change for the good. Ministry, however, takes great faith because the change is hardly ever right away. Seeds take time. However, waiting is not wasted time. Through love and prayer we water and weed around the seed. Our faith stands on the truth that God will give the increase. He declared, “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11. A now deceased preacher and teacher lived by a “philosophy of life” which he repeated to his students (and anyone who would listen). He said, “Live every day in the light of eternity.” God is not asking us to “do it all”. We simply plant the seeds. The harvest will come and some of it will only be known later when we are in heaven. While we are here, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
