The Workers are Few!

He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few." Matthew 9:37

Brethren, at what point will we step outside of our comfort zones and step into the same places Christ is?

Yes He is everywhere, but He is found in the places where most of us don't want to go. Places that require us to be uncomfortable in order to share Him.

Places that require us to depend on Him in ways we never would or have before.

Places that break our hearts because of the devastation found there.

Places that open our eyes to the reality of how desperate Jesus is needed there.

And really, It's not about the places at all, it's about the people in those places.

The people are what matter. 

The souls and hearts of these precious God created people need Jesus, and in order for them to receive Jesus and His hope and love, we have to be willing to step outside of our comfort zones and own little world and step into theirs.

This requires us to have complete faith in Christ. 

Do we trust Him enough to be uncomfortable for His name sake?

Do we believe in His promises, like this one.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
