Those Who Sow in Tears

📝Reflection

This short verse joins suffering and harvest into a single act of farming. Between the sowing and the reaping there is always a season of waiting. To sow in tears means it hurts now and no result is in sight. But what is sown grows quietly underground. In hard times I despaired, feeling I only wept with no fruit. Yet looking back later, the seeds sown in my hardest days were what formed the person I am now. The tears were not in vain; they were the water that soaked the seed. Perhaps today's sorrow is preparing a harvest for a later day.
