Gardening for life

Gardening for life

John 4:36 -38  And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

Sow and water and reap
These we are taught to do;
We are to share our hope
That’s what Christ expects of you.

Sow means to explain
For them through Christ to see;
Testimonies of a  changed heart
The difference He made in me.

Water is no different
Not knowing others have sown;
Adding to the evidences
Of not doing life alone.

Reaping is the reward
Of seeing them come to know;
Christ as their Savior
And getting that eternal glow.

You can never experience
The joy found in all three;
When you keep silent
When prompted by Thee.

Your life may be the only Bible
That some ever do read;
But your testimony to it
May be all they ever need.

They may see something in you
That they really want to attain;
They may eventually come to you
And ask what they can gain.

How can you deny
These joys you shall not keep;
When you speak up next time
To sow and water and reap.
