Others sowed; we reap ... until the work is done

Morning: Psalms 56, 57; Jeremiah 1:11-19; Romans 1:1-15

Evening: Psalms 64, 65; John 4:27-42

I never loved history in school.  But when I go somewhere that is new to me, I am often humbled ... For there is evidence all around of the creativity and goodness of earlier generations.  We are not the first to invest ourselves for the sake of the common good.  Others have laboured before, as Jesus pointed out, to serve the dream of a world made whole. If we share their dream, we now enter into their labour.  Where they sowed seeds of Love, we reap the harvest and plant again, until the world is restored to its lost purpose.
