Seeds Sown in Tears
My dear son,
If there are seeds in your hands today, plant them carefully. Even before you can see what they will become, the work of planting matters. Your Father sees the good you faithfully tend in the same way.
Some days, you may carry on that work through tears. You do not have to hide your heart and pretend to be fine. Tell me what is happening, ask for strength, and share your heart with those working beside you.
Hold the hope of gathering a harvest with joy. You cannot set every season yourself, but you have something to tend today. Lean on your Father and continue. Your tears matter to me, too.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 126:5–6
WEB5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
A short reflection
In a prayer for restoration, the psalm expresses hope that those who sow in tears will reap with joy.
