[:en]RIPE FOR HARVEST

When we plant a tree, it takes a long time for it to grow and bear fruits.  We may not be able to enjoy its shade and fruits but someone else can reap what we have sown.  This is also true in God’s kingdom.  We enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor.   That’s why Jesus said to  His disciples:  “I sent you to reap what you have not worked for” (John 4:38)

Let us look at what fields are ready for harvest.   Let us also play a role by planting seeds for someone to harvest.  – (Amy Boucher Pye)[:]
