The Harvest is so Great, but the Workers are so Few

You ever thought about what it would be

like to live your life fully for God?

Totally surrendered to Him.....

I was just reading in Luke where Jesus says to a crowd,

"If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition (your desires..stuff), shoulder your cross daily (be strong and bear your burdens like He did), and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself (do what you want to do), you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life. "

We like to think we have life all figured out.

Got the degree, the family, the home, making good money....

what else could you ask for?

God has richly blessed me! And, true that may be!

If you've included Him in all of it!:)

But, if He asked you to give it all up...to come follow Him....could you do it???

That's a hard question to answer. Our lips would like to say, "of course, yes!"

But, could you do it???

I found this study note from the Bible to be right on....

"What does Jesus want from us? Total dedication, not half hearted commitment. We can't pick and choose among Jesus' ideas and follow him, selectively, we have to accept the cross along with the crown, judgement as well as mercy. We must count the cost and be willing to abandon everything else that has given us security! With our focus on Jesus, we should allow nothing to distract us (friends, family, work, money, hobbies, fear) from the manner of living that He calls good and true."

And then He also says in Luke,

"Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and

then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God."

Wow! I think He makes himself pretty clear here!

My prayer is that more people will answer His call. He told his disciples,

" The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few."

Isn't that so true.... There are so many lost souls out there

and so few who are willing to commit fully to His call.

Is He calling you???

Pictured above is my hubby, Britt, preaching the Gospel

on a recent mission trip to Nicaragua.

Over 101 souls were saved that week because

people were willing to answer His call.

To God be the Glory!!

Love ya'll! Strive to be Different!
