"Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest." John 4:35

What would my life look like if I was outwardly focused at the urgent needs of our hurting world?

Would I stop to greet the homeless man I see as I drive to work? Would I offer food or comfort? Would I stop to listen to my hurting family member when I call instead of quickly ending the conversation so I can continue on with my night? Would I send more money? Would I pray more intensely? Would I move overseas? What would I REALLY do?

I struggle with this question and especially as the Lord puts certain people/circumstances on my heart - the burden often feels overwhelming. I question should I even be working? Can't I spend my time doing something more meaningful? Or, is the person I know at work that seems distant less important or less in need of my support?

So many questions, so many needs and one servant with a heart to follow and gather the Lord's harvest....so Father, where is that for me?
