Those who sow in tears

Those who sow in tears

" Those who sow in tears — will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow — will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him." Psalm 126:5-6

The sowing is ofttimes in tears — but the reaping is always in joy.

Christ Himself found the sowing hard and sorrowful — but He has never been sorry in Heaven for what it cost Him here.

The old prophet having spoken of the sorrows and sufferings of Christ's life, said, "He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied."

As He sits now on His throne and sees the millions of the redeemed coming home to glory, all saved through His sufferings — He never regrets that He gave such a price for their redemption — but rejoices and is satisfied with the wages that He receives.

Just so will it be with all His followers who are permitted to suffer in any way, in bringing lost ones home.

The wages will a thousand times compensate for all the sacrifice and cost. Heaven will make amends for all.
