He's Still Here
I have been very busy. I picture myself a worker in the field, ever hoping for a fruitful crop. Sometimes there is fruit and suddenly I find myself in a different mind set. Rather than plow up the ground I am busy with the harvest.
It is fulfilling to see some fruit , but before I go far I am already thinking about the next planting season. Each fruit holds seed for a new harvest .
I came in from the field today.
I stopped by my Father's house to say hello.
I thought I'd mention my mistakes while I was there. Get some advice as how to do better. I was in a hurry to get back out to the field but I knew I couldn't go without really talking to Him. I knew that I didn't have to be doing everything perfectly. That He was pleased I was out there at all.
I guess that is why I thought He'd just want to tell me how to fix what was wrong and go on. I guess He would if I was a paid servant.
But you know He told me I was not a paid servant. That actually He wouldn't mind if we just talked awhile. There is a harvest out there and it is important that it be brought in, but did I remember that He had called me son ?
And that is the very thing He would like those in the field to know. He really would like to visit with them. They are really trying much to hard to impress Him with their sacrifice of praise.
I am still kind of anxious to have Him tell me how to get along better with His other sons and sons to be. Could He help me stop being so emotional about everything ? I am scaring people I am so joyful sometimes. I also make people uncomfortable when they realize I strongly disagree with what they have said or are doing. It takes them awhile to understand I am not condemning them. The majority of the people I am around have been bossed around by condemnation so long , any disagreement with their life style they just assume is going to be condemned. When actually I am wanting to share with them about grace. They get scared off before we get that far a lot of times .
Only He said, "Sit down. Let's have a meal together."
Well, I like to talk when I eat. So I may be sharing a lot this week.
If you have been a prodigal son like me , or an elder brother like me and found yourself coming through to the place He let you go out and work the field again. Be encouraged if you are feeling like you are suppose to stop and visit with Him this week. It is time for a meeting with Him, try to resist running back out to the field before you have a full meal.
Come and dine the master calleth come and dine.
