A TIME TO WEEP AND REAP
Those who sow in tears shall rear in joy. -Psalm 126.5Friends can hold your hands and cheer you up, but shepherding a God-given dream to fulfilment always involves watering it with your own tears. Those who sow in tears will reap with joy. He who goes you weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with joy, carrying sheaves with him. But you must recognise what reason you are in.
1. A time for weeping - This is not an excuse for passivity, or a posture of weakness that reduces you to tears because life's not fair and things are tough. In difficult times, sough God, develop a plan, put together a team if possible then move on. What moves you? What do you feel passionate about?
2. A time for reaping - In life, everything has a reason and a reason. (Ecc 3.1-4) Those who understand the reason and maximize the season are 'like a tree planted by stream of water, which yields its fruit in season. (Psalm 1.3) Fruits won't grow before it time, that's why you must discern your life's changing season and adjust to then. You need to know it's time to stop weeping and start reaping, otherwise, you'll miss your harvest. Tears are for sower, joy is for the reaper. When your season changes, harvest your yield with joy. You've paid your dues. now it's time to enjoy what God has promised you.
