Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 NLT

For His Kingdom to come, we have to be willing to Go.

So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit.

Hi. You introduced me to Jesus… Forever Grateful.

Give up your small ambitions, come with me to save the world. - St. Francis Xavier

Remember this a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 NLT

He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Corinthians 9:10 ESV

-POEM-

It’s not what I can’t do
but what I can do
that I am responsible for

You’ve simply called me
to walk out your will
and let you keep the score

I cannot measure
my earthly impact
from an earthly point of view

When I trust and try
and do my best
That’s when I honor you.

And then, something miraculous happens…

You come and multiply
The gifts I give to you
And do much more

than I could dream
To make your will
Come true

What can I do?
I can do what you ask me to
And that I will do

And pray, and give, and go and work

Believing you will do the rest
To meet the needs beyond my reach
if I will give my best.
