Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Psalm 126:5 NIV
I am not much of a gardener, but I know a few good ones. It takes consistent, back breaking effort to keep the weeds at bay and protect plants from bugs and diseases. It takes thought and care to provide the best soil for growth. But if the gardener persists in his work, he will reap a wonderful harvest before long. You too own a garden, the garden of your heart. You may shed many tears over those weeds that persist in growing up to choke out the good plants but keep going. Ask Jesus to live out his life in you. Keep choosing the best fertilizer to put in the soil of your heart. Guard your garden from the bugs and diseases Satan tempts you to permit. One day soon you will reap a harvest of joy when Jesus returns to claim you as his own.
