harvest

In the Garden of Eden there was no effort required to obtain food, but ever since there has been. I use the imagery of harvest to refer to the work of evangelism as well as for the ingathering of food. I looked out at fields of grain and told my disciples that they were even now ready for harvest, and told them to pray that the Lord would send forth laborers for the harvest. This is an enduring principle and your time is always ready. This premise implies that there is effort involved but my yoke is still easy and my burden is light. When you are led by the Spirit your labor in my vineyard will bear fruit.
