Once we understand that we are not the Judge, and once we remember that our witness speaks before our words, we can serve with cleaner hands and a quieter heart. We plant seeds. That is our part. We speak truth when God opens the door. We love people without trying to control them. We pray without needing credit. We invite without forcing. We trust God with the soil of the heart. That does not mean we are passive. It means we are obedient. A farmer still prepares the ground. A farmer still plants. A farmer still waters. But the farmer cannot command the seed to grow overnight. Neither can we. Paul said: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 NASB 2020 That takes the pressure off us and puts the glory where it belongs. The harvest belongs to God. Our assignment is to be willing, obedient servants of the King of Kings. To lead the lost sheep toward Him. To make room for the wounded to come home. To let our lives point back to the One who loves them best. We plant. God grows. Christ receives the glory. And the sheep belong to Him. 🌾 Heart Check Faithful planting is quiet work. Sometimes we may never see the harvest from the seeds we sow, but that does not mean the seed was wasted. God knows what was planted, when it was watered, and when the heart is ready to grow. Question: Can I trust God with the growth, even when I cannot see the results yet?

When we lead people to Christ, or back to Christ, we have to remember something important: We are not the Judge.We are not the Savior.We are not the Holy Spirit. We are servants. That should keep us humble. Sometimes we want people to understand right away. We want them to see what we see, believe what we believe, and return quickly to the safety of God’s arms. But people are not projects. Some are lost sheep.Some are wounded sheep.Some walked away because someone mishandled them in God’s name. So we cannot come with pressure, pride, or a need to be right. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. We are simply willing servants in His field. This is not about proving ourselves spiritual. It is not about winning an argument. It is not about forcing a harvest before the soil is ready. It is about being available to the King of Kings. The next question is this: before people trust what we say about Jesus, can they see Him in the way we live? “By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”John 13:35 NASB 2020 Heart Check Sometimes the hardest part of serving God is remembering that people do not belong to us. Their pace, their process, their wounds, and their return are in His hands. Our part is to stay humble enough to point them toward the Shepherd without standing in His place. Question: Am I leading with love, or am I trying to control the outcome?
