When Will We See the Fruit of Our Labor? By: Alisha Headley "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…" - Ephesians 3:20 Are you tired? Tired of putting in the work and not seeing the fruits of your labor? Are you day in and day out working and hoping to get that raise or promotion? Or perhaps you are planting seeds of kindness into your marriage, friendships, or neighbors, only to get met in return with harshness. Are you planting seeds of prayer daily fighting vehement cries for your child or loved one who has gone astray and is not walking with the Lord, only to find them in more sin walking in what seems to be the opposite direction of the seeds you are planting? This year, I've planted a lot of seeds as I've grown deeper in my relationship with the Lord. I've planted seeds in my calling of writing. Planted seeds in my marriage and friendships. I've learned some valuable lessons this past year as I've been planting, but haven't seen the fruit yet. If you're feeling the same way, I want to share these three truths with you: 1. Your seeds are not wasted. Every seed planted will bear fruit. What is supposed to grow, will. Our job is to leave it to God and leave it alone. Remember, it takes time for seeds to grow. And every seed you plant today, will grow into fruit in the future. |
