Harvest

One of the things we miss the most living on the Equator is the change of seasons. Autumn is one of our favorite seasons with reminders of the beautiful foliage and harvest time. Bill was cleaning out his desk and found a message that was delivered at a missions conference years ago by a very dear friend. It was on John 4.35 where Jesus was talking to his disciples,

1. "Lift up your eyes": raise your sights and expand your vision

2. "Look at the fields": readjust your focus and see that the harvest is right in front of you

3. "They are already white": recognize the opportunity--right here right now

"Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest."
