One morning, during my freshman year of college, I remember waking up to a news story that mentioned her name. The night before, a gunman had walked into the Student Union at the university Cathy attended, pulled out a gun, and shot her in cold blood. Suddenly, I was out of chances to tell Cathy about how she could go to heaven. I had slept through the harvest, and time had run out. This spiritual harvest business is urgent stuff.
Harvest always is.
You know the opportunity doesn t last long . . . God wants us to feel that kind of urgency about telling the people we know about the Man who loved them enough to die for them. We never know when their time or our time will run out. So, like the farmer toiling feverishly in the extended light of a harvest moon, God has given you a little more time to bring in someone His Son died for. Don t keep putting it off.
