I have to share that my heart aches for those that rely on themselves to get through life. I see the life affirmations on their Facebook and Twitter posts. The "positive" thinking, the sending "good energy your way" vibe. It is all lies of the enemy. I meditated on this bible verse today because I get sad when I think of all the past co-workers I shared Jesus with and today it seems as though it made zero impression. But my Lord comforts me with these words that my "sharing word" will not return void. No, we may never know or see the fruits of our labor blossom in our lifetime but they will. My husband led a young man; "Mr. A.", who he met at the park last summer, to the Lord and put him in a good solid teaching church with a congregation his age and he knew he was doing well. Here it is now 2013 and we were out somewhere last week and my husband met another young man; "Mr. B.", who looked familiar and after exchanging pleasantries they knew exactly who each other were. Here "Mr. B." is friends with "Mr. A." and because my husband shared the gospel with "Mr. A." and the Lord came into his heart and saved his life, "Mr. A." shared the good news with his friend, "Mr. B." and "Mr. B." came to Christ and was later baptized. And he also attends the same church my husband suggested to his young friend and he is very involved. So through the power of God and His divine appointment, my husband witnessed the fruit of his labor. Isn't that amazing? I guess I share this story with you to remind myself not to give up sharing the story of Jesus. For He has been the love of my life and the center of my life for 20 years. He is the source of my strength and the best decision I have ever made. He is worth every rejection I may experience because I know my words will not return empty to Him. Therefore I will continue to pray for the lost and for all the people I once knew. I vow to keep sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ for I know that good seeds will be sown and that someday my words will bear a mighty harvest, all in the name of the Lord. Amen to that!
