HARVESTERS <\/p>\n

If you are going to serve the Lord,
\nThen just do it with all your heart,
\nBut if you intend to be lukewarm,
\nWell then please don\u2019t even start.<\/p>\n

The Lord desires faithful servants,
\nWho are willing to give it their all,
\nThere is nothing more important,
\nOnce God has given them His call.<\/p>\n

Forsaking all they serve Him daily,
\nAs they sow His seed in the field,
\nPersonal desires take 2nd place,
\nAs to their Father\u2019s will they yield.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re on a very sacred mission,
\nTending to this world full of wheat,
\nStriving to bring it into His barns,
\nLest it should perish in the heat.<\/p>\n

They remain focused on their duty,
\nThough the Devil tries to distract,
\nThey are not ignorant of his tricks,
\nFor Father has truly got their back.<\/p>\n

And thus they bravely battle on,
\nEven though the dark forces rage,
\nSomeday they\u2019ll all be rewarded,
\nWhen their life turns its final page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
