Fill ye!

Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Master of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
The Whittens write:
As many of you know, our first child, Elianna, is just over five years old now and our son, Obadiah is just over 1 1/2 years now. They are a joy and a treasure to us. We thought we'd be teaching our kids lots, but it turns out that they're teaching us some great lessons! Here's another one.
We've noticed that our kids are open vessel which will take in any and everything around them -- like an empty treasure chest that we have the opportunity to fill with all the treasures of Yahweh. If we don't fill it with good things now, they will later seek to fill their empty chests with the treasures of the world. But if we are faithful to fill those treasure chests with holiness, righteousness, joy, peace and all the good things of Yahweh, they'll not only be full but they will later defend those treasures with their lives!
This is our challenge as parents. But as believers, we all share this challenge -- to train and disciple the young --whether they are children or new believers in Yahweh. They are each empty treasure chests, just waiting to be filled with Elohim's goodness, and we have a responsibility to fill them! Just as the disciples in Yah'shua's day left all that they had to go and make disciples of men, so should we make ourselves available to train up and teach those new open vessles that Yahweh brings our way.
Christopher , let's get serious about the calling of the Lord on our lives. There is SO much work to be done!
