Watering Seeds

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Psalm 126:5-6 NKJV

I've read this Scripture countless times. I've sung the songs related to it  ♪♫ Bringing in the sheaves! ♫ Bringing in the sheaves!♪♫  I've held on to the promise of reaping in joy so many times... But for some reason, I thought the tears were what was being sown. I never made the connection that the tears were watering the seed I was sowing while I was weeping. 

Even so, I guarantee you that without a doubt, I have come rejoicing again and again, bringing in the sheaves! It may have been sheaves of paper in the place of wheat, but God has never let me return empty-handed. He has always provided the harvest.

Prayer:

Father,

           Thank You for tears to wash my eyes so that I could see Your goodness and the plan You have for me. Thank You for getting the most use out of everything that touches our lives, including the tears that water the seed. Provide the harvest, Father, we pray in Jesus' Name. Amen
