3. Mt. 9: 35-38

Mt. 9: 35-38: Having a feeling of compassion for the ‘sheep who have no shepherd Jesus struggles through with his healing and teaching ministries in ‘towns, villages, and in their synagogues’. Such struggles to find God in lives can be termed as ‘dark night of the soul’ and ‘spiritual aridity’. If we pursue such times to their conclusion, we can emerge from them with deeper and cleaner insight. What we learn through our struggles with darkness can help others to see light. It can be our way of bringing in the harvest.
