Matthew 13:3-8~"Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."~
Matthew 10:14-15 ~"If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. ~"
How many of *y’all are frustrated with ministering to some people who just refuse to accept Jesus? I mean you literally want to pull out your hair and rock a bald head if the people would just accept God’s love. One thing that was revealed to me was that everyone is not going to be receptive to the Word. In fact some people may even resent you for having the nerve to “preach” to them. But you know what? you can’t get offended because some people have been hurt and beat down by the traumatics of life that they are not ready to listen to the Word yet. This does not mean that you should stay around and keep getting beat up by them, in fact Matthew 10:14-15 says to move on to someone who will be receptive to the message. You also need to realize that it takes some people time, just think about it- How long did it take you to receive God’s love? I’m sure it wasn’t an overnight success story, (there are probably a few people rocking bald heads because of you). Although sad, but unfortunately true some people will never accept the message, but the main thing that you can be assured of is that God’s Word does not return void. Everyone has a choice whether or not to accept or reject Jesus, by giving a non-believer the message, it is like planting a seed, and even though the ground may be hard, dry, and rocky in many places you should just keep on moving and cover as much ground as you can, plant as many seeds as you can, and you will eventually reap a harvest. Some harvests may be small or even void, and some may be plentiful, but whatever the outcome you should never give up and stop planting the seeds of God’s love.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y’all.
