Harvest

My Life is Just a Seed

My life is just a seed that He planted in my heart
By Lord Jesus who my every thought has known
And He paid the price by blood to claim me as His own
In the mystery of a love before the start

And it has grown in days of rain and through the times of drought
While busy years of youth passed in a whirl
And everything was changing in my world
The words of Christ stood firm against the doubt 

Now it’s time of autumn leaves with harvest near
And He’s coming soon to gather children home
Forever to the place near Heaven’s throne  
Where my seed will in His hand rest without fear 

As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
Matthew 13;23 ESV

Quiet Sunday Thoughts – Abiding in Jesus

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; 
for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5 ESV

Just as a branch must continue to remain a part of a tree through all four seasons, so we must remain by faith in Christ. He calls us to continue believing in, trusting and relying on Him through Winters of difficulties, Springtimes of change, and long hot summers of hard work to come to the Fall harvest full of fruit. If you are feeling unworthy or like a failure in your walk with Jesus today, know that this fruitfulness that doesn’t depend on your successes, abilities or strengths. In fact, God takes great delight in our weakness, because it brings us to depend entirely on Jesus! He promises that if we remain in Him, then He will see to it that at the harvest time which He has chosen, that we will be filled with much fruit! Have a blessed Sunday all!
