STAYING STRONG AS WE REAP AND FAITHFUL WHEN WE SOW.
I think that often when things seem like they are at their worst and it seems like “friends” even Family don’t give a shit about you anymore. That we really find out who WE are. I have always been one to be there for others when I am able. At one time, not too long ago, I was more than capable of being there for anyone at anytime. When the situation is reversed though, often it just seems like people have forgotten who you are. The Scripture talks about seasons of sowing and reaping in our lives. And in the Psalms, it talks about sowing in tears and reaping in joy. That verse is saying that the sowing seasons, are usually the most difficult. It’s hard to keep a good attitude when all your friends are being blessed, but you’re not.
You may feel like they don’t work as hard as you do. You may feel like they don’t give like you do or, don’t deserve the blessings they get, are getting or already have. I believe that is when we are being tested most… I mean, that would in fact be the perfect time to test us, when we are in lack and suffering. It’s hard to go through disappointments and stay positive and hopeful… These are seasons of sowing.
I believe that if we stay in faith and do the right thing even when it’s hard, we will always reap in joy. Have a new attitude toward what God has placed in your heart. It may be taking a long time, but God still has a plan to bring it to pass. Don’t give up. Your time is coming… It’s never too late. God is saying, “This is your season. Keep your faith pumped up.” Keep sowing because in due season, you will reap what you have sown.
My thoughts anyway…
