The Vineyard

While waiting in a patient room, I was praying to the Lord, I had been expecting a vision for 2 days. This is not at all the topic I expected.
I saw a huge vineyard before me as far as the eye could see.
It was early morning and the dew had just about dissipated, with the area above the soil appearing with a hint of mist about the vines. What I saw was very strange (I have lived in several places with vineyards and never saw anything like this). Most of the grapes were dead, they were lying on the ground. Their stems so dry they could not stand erect. Others were dying though they had fruit turning into raisins. While others were so dry, they were almost dust. Some that lay on the ground were bruised and rotten. However, among this sight were beautiful plants, glowing globes, lush grapes that glistened in the sun. They were so gorgeous.
I sensed Jesus next to me as I looked about and He spoke, “I am the wine dresser. It is almost time for me to Harvest the grapes.” Part of me was excited. I knew what that meant and I have waited a long time to hear this, (We are going home!).
I sensed such profound sorrow from Jesus as He surveyed the mess scattered all over the ground for nearly 90% was worthless. It wouldn’t even be picked but left on the ground to the elements to breakdown I started to cry. I said to Jesus, I am so sorry. How hurt you must be! All the waste! He spoke, “Yes. I worked very hard to cultivate this vineyard. I planted at just the right time. The soil was cultivated and ready with all the right nutrients. I took great care to give it {the vineyard} the right temperatures, sun and rain, making sure that they {plants} had just what they needed but many failed to thrive while others refused the good things I offered and thus many never produced good fruit. Now, it is time to harvest but most of the grapes never matured. The Harvest is so much smaller than I had hoped for.” Jesus had a very small smile on his lips, His eyes so terribly sad, His sadness just broke my heart. Each time I think about this I cry again. I am weeping as I type.
Friends, if we only knew how much Jesus loves us and desires to be united with Him, I dare say few would treat Him so dispassionately. I had to repent for all the times I ignore Him. I can barely control myself, I am so ashamed and so terribly sorry. I am heart broken. Please, PLEASE Don’t Treat Jesus this way! He loves you so much!
Soon there will be no more warnings.
Time is so short. I know this like I know my name. I have such a strong urge to say goodbye to people!
LISTEN the Savior is calling YOU!

* The things the Lord gave to the vineyard to grow included… His word, His still small voice, mercy, forgiveness, eternity, gifts, riches, friends and family, jobs, talents, loved ones, nature, so many wonderful things, every perfect gift.
Matthew 13:1-9 King James Version (KJV)
13 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 15:13
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Matthew 4:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
