Proverbs 29:18 (RV) – “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.”

Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for  Today

HOPE FOR THE HARVEST

We know everyone has unique talents.

“Why did You create them, oh Lord?

Was it for personal fame or fortune?

Was it to keep us from becoming bored?”

 “No, no, My Child,” says the Father.

“I gave those giftings for you to employ.

Your giftings are the HOPE FOR MY HARVEST.

Your unique abilities are truly My Joy.

When you use those abilities I gave you.

My Presence then enters the room.

You become My Conduit of blessing

Sweeping Satan away like a broom.

Develop, unleash and use your talents.

Man’s rejection is not authored by Me.

I gave you those talents with purpose.

When you use your talents, We’re free.

I’m free to bring in My Harvest.

You’re free to wisely and creatively birth

Many untapped avenues of service

Hope begins when a talent is unearthed.

Sadly, I’ve created many fine talents

Lying dormant from the cradle to the grave

Plenty of HOPE FOR MY HARVEST

Lie wasted beneath fear’s dismal cave.”

“Awake, My child,” says the Father.

“Grow up!  Be a Christian who serves.”

Which hidden talents are simply rusting?

Partnership in Hope’s Harvest, God deserves.

“Lord, forgive my fearful, sad attitude.

I was stifled by the fickle approval of men.

Lord, I  now surrender each of my talents.”

God says, “Now my HOPE FOR HARVEST will begin.”
