It's Planting Season
Planting season is here. Personally I enjoy planting. I didn't use to when I was little, but now it’s just amazing to see God’s work through seeds. We planted row after row and it won’t be long till it’s shooting out of the ground trying with all it’s might to reach it’s tiny tendrils to the sun above.
It’s amazing to think about our corn, usually growing to about 7 feet tall, starting out as little seeds. Seeds that are in somewhat of a coma until we till the ground, plant the vulnerable seed, water, and it starts to push it’s way through the dirt to find the sun. Then it’s harvest time.
It’s like our lives before we've accepted Christ. We’re vulnerable, small, and in a spiritual coma. We aren’t growing because Christ isn't in our hearts fertilizing us to maturity.
God puts those people in our lives to till the ground of our heart, those who will come along and plant the seeds of Christ, those who shine the light of the Son, and those who water.
God ultimately reaps the harvest. We may have the honor of leading someone to Christ, but God reaps the harvest every time. The angels in heaven rejoice whenever someone gives their life to Christ.
Being Christians, God has called us to be His light. We are to be those who till the ground of people’s hearts, water, show them the Son. It’s our job to share Christ’s love.
Our job to plant. It’s planting season. God puts people in our lives because He knows they need to know His love. He may have picked you to share it with them. Ask God to show you who it is He’s put in your life to share His love with. Plant the seeds of His love in their hearts. Luke 10:2 "Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." There are too many Christians who tell themselves, "Oh, someone else will tell people about Christ. They don't need me." The harvest is truly great.
It’s [planting season].
