Tears of Faith
Tears of Faith
Have you ever had your heart broken? Or your dreams shattered? Or had your plans crushed by reality?
That happened to the Jewish people when they were forced to leave their homes and become exiles in a foreign land. Their grief was surely deep and their questions surely plenty, but even their tears couldn’t stop new growth.
Recorded in Psalm 126, regarding the time “when the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem…”
“Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.”
Psalms 126:5 NLT
Like the Israelites, you might be in a season of unexpected sadness, but joy, fruit, and abundance are waiting on the other side.
Are you worried about someone in your family? Are you frustrated with someone at work? Are you devastated or numb regarding a situation in your life? Are you baffled by what you see on the news? Is your health failing you? Is this season not quite what you’d hoped?
Maybe you truly want to make a difference and you want the people around you to know God, but it’s hard—because you’re trudging forward through tears.
The great news is, seeds aren’t picky about moisture, and tears can be a catalyst for growth.
Like any good book or movie, there’s conflict before there’s resolution. Like a woman in labor, there’s pain before there’s new life. Like a prisoner, there’s the angst of captivity before there’s the relief of freedom. Like any real farmer knows, there’s dirt and sweat before there’s any kind of harvest.
We don’t always get to choose the environment in which we sow seeds. But regardless, we—people made in the image of God—are called to love Him and love people, to be fruitful and multiply, to go and make disciples, and to trust Him with our grief.
Joy is often preceded by tears, which should give us great hope.
So, let’s continue to do the good work God has put before us. Let’s continue to plant seeds in faith, even through tears. Let’s honor Him as we sow our seeds and trust Him with the harvest.
