Sowing In Tears

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


I can’t help but think about the great concern we should have for spreading the gospel to others when reading this. The lost should be of great concern to those that have found and took hold of salvation, because we know the cost of rejecting God and what He has offered to us. Those in this world cannot possibly comprehend the magnitude of what they are rejecting. Worse yet, the denominational world have many deceived into believing they are in a right relationship with God. The responsibility is placed upon our shoulders to get the Word of God in truth out to all those that are lost. Although many will be lost because of their own willful ignorance of God’s word, it causes us sorrow, especially when those we love reject it. We must never give up on warning, persuading and pleading with the lost of follow God. There are those that do have an honest and good heart and do want the truth. If we go forth “bearing precious seed” as the Scripture says above we will “doubtless come again rejoicing” because of those who do obey the gospel. I can’t help but to think of my own family when I read these Scriptures. I have cried many tears for their rejection of God’s Word. I try so hard to warn my children and my husband and set a good example for them, but so far to no avail. I know that I failed my children when they were younger, because I myself was not stronger at that time. I can’t look back though, I only have today to be the best that I can be for God and do what I can now. I will keep trying as long as I am here to persuade them to turn to God. I love this Scripture: “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:11-13). I am trying with all that is in me to do just that, deny this world and live soberly, righteously and godly so that I can always at every minute look forward to His appearing and never be caught in a state of not being in Him.
