the question burning
seeking discernment
how to be effective
the call to make disciples
upon each one of us
a call, not a demand
an offer, a gift,
seeds, not a net
to woo, not to push,
to gather the harvest
a carrot, not a whip
honey not vinegar
to make disciples
love not judgment
to bring them to God.
