 Sowing in Tears

Scripture:
“Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.” – Psalm 126:5

Reflection

Every harvest begins with a seed. But the psalmist reminds us that sometimes seeds are planted with tears—through pain, loss, or sacrifice. Seasons of hardship may make it seem like nothing good will come out of our efforts, but God promises that tears are never wasted when sown in faith.

Just as farmers sow seeds into the dark soil, we often sow prayers, service, and obedience into situations that feel hidden or fruitless. Yet in due time, God transforms every tear into testimony. The tears of waiting, fasting, forgiving, and enduring trials are watering seeds of joy yet to be revealed.

Your weeping season is not your final chapter. God specializes in turning mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). What was planted with tears will be harvested with rejoicing.

Life Application

  • Reflect on the “tears” you’ve sown—whether in prayer, relationships, ministry, or work.
  • Trust that God sees and records every tear (Psalm 56:8).
  • Keep sowing, knowing that the harvest of joy is guaranteed by His promise.

Prayer

Lord, I surrender every tear before You. Let my sacrifices and hidden prayers not be in vain. May every tear I’ve sown produce a harvest of joy, restoration, and blessing. Turn my sorrow into rejoicing, and let my testimony inspire others to trust You. Amen.

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
