Harvesting

Have you ever just known that you were right about something, but you couldn’t convince others that you were right? I know I have. The issue seems so obvious to me. Why can’t others “see it”? Their lack of vision and understanding just makes me want to “shake” it into them. Sometimes that is the way I feel about my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I know that He is the Way! Why can’t others “see it”? Why are they so dense? Why can’t they just believe like I do? I want to “force” them to believe. It would, after all, be for their own good. It’s true that I might get a jewel in my crown, but they would get Salvation – eternal life. They might think that I am out to hurt them, but it would be worth it. At least they wouldn’t face eternal damnation. And then I read verses like Luke 10:3 where Jesus sent out the 72 “others” to go and share the Gospel message and He says, “behold, I am sending you out as lambs ….” When is the last time you saw a lamb forcing someone to accept or believe something? I know, me too, never. Lambs don’t “force” anything. They “win” you over with humility and meekness. And I was so ready to go out and do some “shaking” of His love into people. Guess I better rethink that and just go out and love. The fields are ripe.The harvest is ready. Will you join me? Blessings
