Harvest is about good crops, and it is for the benefit of the farmer. Farmer watches over the field; sun, rain, ... everything matters. It is a cry, a struggle. 'Labourers for the harvest' is for the good of what is sown; for those who are dejected, harassed and are like sheep without a shepherd. Gospel is life for them, not a deceiving dream or an exploiting promise for those who struggle.
At times human life is left to be a lone fight with God and people. Many may be angry with God and may have cursed God. There is no one to relate to. There they beg for a blessing, a moment to live. Harvest of joy is to be extended to the field of these hearts that knew the abandonment. this blessing is not just greeting God's help, but ensuring our support for them.
Often we pronounce condemnation and curse or interpret the misfortunes to be because of curses from God. Curse is strange to the nature of God. Jesus announced the year of God's favour; its a time of blessing. Blessing must shape the nature of our observations, discernment, decisions, and directions.
