Temporary Sorrow for Everlasting Joy!
Psalms 126:5-6 (NLT) Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.
No one in their right mind looks forward to doing anything with a spirit of sadness. What fun is that? But sometimes, that’s exactly the way we feel in the midst of doing what we’re called to do. The game changer for believers is that – regardless of our temporary sorrow – our belief in what God gives us to do comes with a hope and an expectation that our work will not be in vain. Think about the people who hoped to see the fruit of their labor come to pass, but God called them home before it happened in the earth. Imagine the honorable pride their descendants who came after them must feel to know that their relatives had a hand in a great work that serves current and future generations to come! Everlasting joy replaces our temporary sorrow when we know that somewhere in the will of God, the seeds of our labor will bring forth the harvest God will purposely use for His Kingdom Thank You, Jesus!
