Harvest time, is a season of long hot days, when the fruits of the field are being gathered. The days are long, the fields are hot, and cold snow would be welcomed refreshment. Solomon says that those who are faithful messengers are just as refreshing to the soul. We live in a culture that is rampant with plastic smiles and fabricated positive feedback. One of the most difficult things to get from another individual is honest feedback. How is it with you? Are you a people pleaser, or do you seek to be faithful? May we all strive to bring refreshment to the lives of those around us, as we learn to speak the truth in love.
