Reaping

Scripture Passage: John 4:35-36

When we plant our farms, we have to wait a long time for the harvest. If we plant God's word in our hearts, the harvest we reap is eternal life. Sometimes when we tell others the good news about Jesus, they do not seem to receive what we say. We pray and hope they will come to know Christ, but the seed we have planted does not seem to be growing in them. Just as we need to be patient and wait for the plants to ripen in our farm, so we need to wait and pray, trusting God for the harvest.

Memory verse: Galatians 6:9
So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. (NLT)
