Unto God ~

Unto God,
we’re set apart
each of us
to do our part.

Some be a sower,
others to water
some are reapers . . .
and harvest spotters.

Unto God,
we are to gather
sheep for His fold
wherever scattered.

Some to go out,
some to stay home
but all looking to return
those on the roam.

Unto God,
we’re set apart
so in the harvest
we can all take part!

Psalm 4:3

But know that the Lord hath
set apart him that is godly
for himself:

Faint Not ~

Faint not,
do not tire
don’t forget
satan’s a liar.

Keep on,
keeping on
for your Father
and His Son.

Faint not,
do not pass out
don’t let satan
cause any doubt.

Press on,
pressing on
soon the harvest
will be drawn.

Faint not,
do not surrender
keep on pressing on . . .
into heaven’s splendor!

Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary
in well doing: for in
due season we shall reap,
if we faint not.

Born To Witness ~

Born to scatter,
seeds to sow
born to spread
harvest and grow.

Born to disperse,
the Good News
born to follow
in Jesus’ shoes.

Born to light up,
worldly darkness
born to soften
hearts of hardness.

Born to witness,
to water and feed
born to share
why God others need.

Born to broadcast,
water, feed and sow
born so others
salvation may know!

~~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 13:23

But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth it;
which also beareth fruit,
and bringeth forth,
some an hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty.

The Face of Autumn ~

Lord it is time again,
to see the season change
to watch as Your beauty
the landscape rearrange.

So with wonder and awe,
I watch the face of Autumn
alter it’s many colors
ending Summer’s blossom.

Lord, it is time again,
to harvest the seeds sown
to see which ones for You
have ripened, matured and grown.

So with a grateful heart,
I gather up Autumn’s fruit
which over the span of time
have in You taken root.

Lord, it is time again,
for me to sit and reflect
how I can help to reach . . .
all those who You still reject!

~~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 9:37-38

Then saith he unto his disciples,
The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the labourers are few;

Pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest, that he will
send forth labourers into
his harvest.

Jeremiah 8:20

The harvest is past,
the summer is ended,
and we are not saved.

Crumbs ~

Crumbs,
morsels of hope
for us to spread
all over the globe.

Crumbs,
little bits of peace
for us to scatter
and daily release.

Crumbs,
scrapes of light
for us to sow
to give new sight.

Crumbs,
shreds of what we believe
so the Good News
others can receive.

Crumbs,
put them all together
oh what a great harvest
we could truly gather!

Sticky Note From God 10.07.17

Holding Fast ~

Lord, help me to hold fast,
give me the stability
to grasp onto my faith
with grace and humility.

Help me to be steadfast,
give me quiet persistence
let me not grow weary
when I meet resistance.

Lord, help me to be firm.
so that I will not waiver
let me cling to the hope
You are my found Savior.

Help me to be secure,
keep me peacefully steady
with encouraging words
let me always be ready.

Lord, help me to hold fast,
to the trust in You I’ve found
keep me calmly resilient . . .
in spreading my faith around!

Using Our God Given Gifts ~

Everyone has a ministry,
each one of us has a gift
some plant the good seed
others give it a good old sift.

Some of us are called,
into the world to go out
others are lead to stay home
and help those who are without.

Some are Bible preachers,
teachers and instructors
some are Gospel singers
others the choir conductors.

Some are the prayer chain,
others the church greeters
some are the encouragers
others the floor sweepers.

Some bake and cook,
others perform the office work
some do the ushering
others are the church’s clerk.

Everyone has a ministry,
and we must put it to use
for they are a gift from God
so good works we can produce!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 2:10

“For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should
walk in them.”
