The Harvest

Look upon the harvest.
Shimmering golden blankets,
warmed by the gentle breezes, kissed by the rain.

The Harvest is ready.
Who will reap?

The very grains of wheat are numbered,
each nurtured by the blessings of sun,
rain and gentle breezes.

The Harvest is ready.
Who will reap?

All across the land,
lightening flashes, storm clouds roll.
Summer rains gather strength.
The golden fields darken as the storm settles overhead.

The Harvest is ready.
Who will reap?

Slowly, the gentle breezes build.
Many are touched by the warm breeze of HIS love.
Many are nurtured by the gentle showers of HIS blessings.
Many are softened by the warmth of HIS compassion.

The Harvest is ready.
Who will reap?

Soon, the day will come when the storm clouds will gather'.
Storms of strife will cover the earth.
The lightening wrath of God will cover the sins of man.

What of HIS harvest?

The Harvest is ready.
Who will reap?

"The harvest is truly plenteous, but the laborers are few.
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that He send forth laborers into HIS harvest,"
(Matthew 9:37-38, KJV)
