有一天
“举目向田观看，庄稼已经熟了，可以收割了。” - 约 4:35
试想像一下，有一天你在天堂里与一些新朋友交谈。事实上，你将来会有很多时间这样做的。
再想像一下，其中一个是《约翰福音》第4章故事中的撒玛利亚妇人。可能当时你正在与她、使徒保罗、一位教宗和你年少时的媬姆，一起讲述各人的故事。话题不知不觉便转到，神是那样奇妙地使用平凡的人，去建立祂的国度，每个人都纷纷发表意见。
又想像那撒玛利亚妇人怎样清楚描述，她城中所有人，都从自己匿藏之处走出来，让基督找到他们。再想像，她怎样喜形于色，惊叹神那么奇妙地使用她去分享耶稣的福音。
你又会说什么呢？你可以分享什么故事？如果你暂时未能想到，你可以求神帮助你，去留意谁已经准备好去聆听耶稣的福音。求神帮助你去分享祂怎样改变了你，又继续不断在你身上作工，而凡经祂引导，归信唯一的救主、祂的儿子基督的人，都得到同样的应许。
我有一个预感，当你述说救主竟然使用像你这样的人，去把活水洒在意料不到的人身上时，你的眼睛也会像其他人一样，闪闪发光。
我相信你会永远享受这样的交谈，我真的希望有一天你能享受到。
祷告
神啊，在我们期待与你在一起过丰盛的永恒生命时，求你赐我们盼望。帮助我们忠心事奉你，又因你怎样多方使用平凡的人，去成就绝不平凡的事而欢喜快乐。阿们。
John 4:1–42

“Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” —John 4:35
Picture yourself someday in heaven, talking with some new friends. There will be plenty of time for that, after all.
Imagine discovering that one of them is the Samaritan woman in the story from John 4. Suppose you’re swapping stories with her and the apostle Paul and maybe one of the popes as well as your childhood babysitter. The conversation drifts to the remarkable ways God used ordinary people to build his kingdom. And everyone chimes in.
Imagine the Samaritan woman describing excitedly how everyone in her town came out of hiding to be found by Christ. Picture her beaming with joy as she marveled at the surprising way God used her to share the good news of Jesus.
And what might you say? What stories do you think you would share? If you can’t think of any right now, ask God to help you notice people who are ready to hear the good news of Jesus. Ask him to help you share how he has changed you and has worked in your life steadily, just as he promises for all whom he brings to faith in Christ, his Son, the one and only Savior.
I have a hunch that your eyes will gleam like the others’ as you tell how the Savior used even someone like you to splash living water onto unsuspecting people.
I’ll bet you could spend forever enjoying conversations like that. I hope someday you will.
God, give us hope as we anticipate full, eternal life with you. Help us to serve you faithfully, rejoicing in the ways you use ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. Amen.
