Daily Word Of God
Matthew 9:35-37
Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness.
And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest.’

- The Lord wants us to experience the Richness of His harvest, and truly, how bountiful it is! Can we not find the strength within us to serve as Labourers of the field of the Lord; to serve Him who has given us everything?
