"God...will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Heb. 6:10
You have been a willing laborer in the vineyard of the Lord.
You have spent many hours toiling and bringing in the harvest. You have made many sacrifices, and you have done it with a generous heart.
But today you have grown weary. It seems your labor has been in vain. The seeds you have planted appear to have fallen on stony ground, and become prey for the hot scorching sun.
I want to encourage you to not give up! Do not surrender to temptation to forget the promises of your God.
He is not a man that he should lie. What he has promised, he will perform. He simply will not perform it according to your time-frame.
There is a season for planting, a season for working the soil, and a season to wait patiently for the crop to come forth.
You are in the waiting season. God has not forgotten your labor of love that you have shown HIM, by ministering to his people.
Continue sowing into the lives of others. In so doing, you are showing love to Him.
He will reward you, and he will honor your patience in waiting for the harvest.
This is not the time to grow weary; this is the time to patiently wait (and believe) for the promises of God to come forth; only then, will you see the rewards of your labor.
God bless,

This is not the time to grow weary; this is the time to patiently wait (and believe) for the promises of God to come forth; only then, will you see the rewards of your labor...Amen and Amen again! What an encouragind word. Just what I needed. Thanks a lot.
Funny how God leads you with perfect timing. I could have read this when you posted it, or I could have never come across it on my own. But God led me to read this. Right here, right now, perfectly with a timing that only God has. I was brought here today to receive this message loud and clear. Thank you. God bless. I apologize for not keeping up with your writing. I thought I had you on tracker, but evidently I didn't! I do now. You are such a blessing. I may not have commented on many of your articles, but I have read and been blessed by many. Keep serving. In Christ, Christian
More difficult than it sounds. But I trust the Lord... and so I wait... not always so patiently. And God's faithful to send a messenger by once in a while to remind us... "I haven't forgotten." Thank you, my dear friend. My heart has been needing just such a word.
The waiting is almost over and the reaping is coming. This is a season of blessing and favor, but mostly, souls won for the Lord. Praise Him. He has not forgotten us. We will live in our promised lands.
Thanks for the encouragement. One does grow weary sometimes when the waiting season appears. But we have to be reminded that there is a time for everything. God bless!
