Do you know that your life is nothing but wasted in the eyes of God unless your sins are forgiven? In Joel.1:4 we read of four kinds of insects which eat away the crops of the farmer,---the Palmer worm, the locust, the canker worm and the caterpillar. Sometimes the farmers with great hope work very hard day and night to till the land and sow the seed. The seed comes up but when the times comes for reaping the harvest, they find that some thing has come in and destroyed the crops. May be one part of the crop is eaten away by the palmer worm, another part of the field by the locust, and the third part by the canker worm, and forth part by the caterpillar. How much is life. Nothing! All is gone ! what does God say? ‘ Oh! Ye sinners, why do you waste your life?’. Your life is like that field which is being eaten away by the palmer worm, canker worm, locust and caterpillar.
Indeed, this may be your condition today. You are conscious that your life has been wasted and is being wasted. There is hope even for you. You can recover every loss. How ever great your loss may be, and how ever humbling, still your loss can be recovered. Your life can be abundantly fruitful, and every minute you spend will yield everlasting fruit. It is by abiding in Lord Jesus Christ that we may bring forth abiding fruit. That is the wonderful miracle of salvation. Even though we have wasted our life in many sinful and shameful ways , yet , by coming into the Lord Jesus Christ, and by being joined to Him, we may become abundantly fruitful.
