|
Becoming the labourers of Christ Christ said: ‘The harvest is great, but the labourers are few.’ Hence what we need is: More to approve, fewer to disapprove. More doers, fewer talkers. More to say: ‘It can be done,’ fewer to say: ‘It can’t be done.’ More to inspire others with confidence, fewer to throw cold water on everything. More to take one step in the right direction. More to get into the thick of things. More to do something about it, fewer to sit on the sidelines finding fault. More to point out what is right, fewer to keep harping on what is wrong. More to light a candle, fewer to curse the darkness. The labourers are indeed few – those who are willing to put themselves out to bring Christ’s healing, love and hope to others. Why can’t I become one of those labourers? |
