Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. Psalm 126:5

My brothers and sisters in Christ, yesterday I encouraged you to not give up, to keep doing all for the glory of God; but we who have sown in tears and reaped in joy understand the process. It’s never easy when we are going through something that threatens to destroy us, to rob us of our peace, but we persevered, we did not give up, we kept the faith, we trusted God, and he was faithful. It’s only after we have sown in tears that we would really understand what it really means to reap in joy.
