harvesting God’s children


ready, ripened
in the fields, the garden
the weeds around them
entwined roots
in the same soil
the wheat and the tares
needing workers
servants in the field
harvesting God’s children
leaving the weeds
for the fires
gathering the sheaves

Matthew 9:35-38
“37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful
but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
