A Joyful Reward

We sometimes sow our seed with tears.
For some we’ve prayed for years and years.
God has noted every tear
Which we have shed for someone dear.

Faithfulness to carry on,
Even when our hopes are wan,
Is highly honored by the Lord
And brings a glorious reward.

Be encouraged. Do not quit.
God will give you added grit.
Not one prayer has gone unheard.
By your faith, God’s heart is stirred.

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him,”
Psalm 126:5-6 KJV
