Do you ever feel like your efforts to be a better man, live a good Christian life don't matter? That when you speak up for Christ it's falling on deaf ears - like you're shouting into the void?
Here's an encouraging word - get it deep into your heart and mind: WHEN YOU THINK NOTHING IS HAPPENING, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.
We're not called to be harvesters all the time. Sometimes, we're the seed planters.
Think about it:
-
Every time you share Jesus, you're planting a seed.
-
Every act of kindness, every word of truth - it's all seed.
-
You might not see the harvest, but that's not the point.
THE SEED OF THE GOSPEL YOU PLANT TODAY
IS THE HOPE A MAN NEEDS FOR HIS LIFE TOMORROW.
Here's my challenge to you:
-
Plant seeds daily, without expectation of immediate results.
-
Water the seeds others have planted around you.
-
Celebrate the harvests, knowing it's all God's work.
And a way to reap a great harvest in the hearts of men right now is give into planting seeds across the nations. I challenge you to give generously to CMN today to help us continue planting the seeds of Christ in men's hearts around the world.
This has been one of the most difficult summers in the history of the ministry.
Because we've asked for help, we've received gifts from across the US, Germany, New Zealand and Canada--the CMN global brotherhood is responding to the challenge.
Please join your brothers and give a generous gift today - click HERE.
The world is desperate for the seeds of hope and love and peace and new life, and you, brother, carry it within you—in your speech, your actions, your giving, your very being. Generosity is how we plant life ... Jesus planted the very seed of his life in us.
So keep planting. Keep watering. Keep believing.
Because when you think nothing is happening, God is growing something amazing.
