Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with the eye of a seasoned farmer:

“I planned many times to come to you…in order that I might have a harvest among you…”
(Romans 1:13)

Is that how You want me to approach other people, Jesus –

as wide open fields of incredible potential
in which I can plant, weed, cultivate, encourage and nurture

so that one day after I have poured into them everything I’ve got –
and after You have provided the sunshine and rain I could never supply –

I will have the unspeakable pleasure
of seeing a healthy, life-giving crop springing up from their ground

knowing You worked through me to make that miracle happen?

And if that is true…

am I somebody else’s field?

O God.

Even as I pour myself into the lives of others

please lay it on the right people’s hearts
to view me as a field of incredible potential

and answer Your call to pour their lives

into me.
