27
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: be meditating on Psalm chapter one hundred twenty six, verse

28
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: five through six from the King James version. They that

29
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: so in tears shall reap enjoy. He that goeth forth

30
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: and weepeth bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,

31
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: bringing his sheaves with him. Take a moment to pour

32
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: out your adoration to God. God. I worship you for

33
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: your faithfulness. I praise you for you have called me

34
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: to be the head and not the tale. You promise

35
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: that your blessing shall come upon me and overtake me.

36
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I praise you for as I hope in you, you

37
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: renew my strength. You alone are worthy of all praise.

38
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to work through your depression. This can

39
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: be excruciatingly hard. There is a difference between being planted

40
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: and being buried, and you decide if you become a

41
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: grave or a garden. In the season of opposition, when

42
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: you find yourself forgotten and alone, you have a choice

43
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: to make. You can allow your tears to water your work,

44
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: or you can roll over and die. The Bible teaches

45
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: that hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing

46
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: fulfilled is a tree of life. Sowing through your tears

47
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: will feel heartbreaking, but you must persevere, for if you

48
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: do not sow, you will never reap the manifestation of

49
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: your longing. Perhaps you find yourself surrounded by dirt and darkness,

50
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: you must remember you are a precious seed. The process

51
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: might hurt, but the results will be worth while. God

52
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: is waiting for you. Confess your troubles to your Father above,

53
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: so He may aid you in your time of need.

54
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Think for a minute on all the times God gave

55
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: growth to your life, Those times when you felt stalled

56
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: out and stagnant but God saved you, times where God's

57
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: process hurt but brought amazing results in your life. Thank

58
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Him for all the past wisdom and righteousness resulted from

59
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: being planted. Thank Him for the areas of growth, understanding,

60
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: and maturity. Now think of the seeds buried in your

61
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: garden and Thank God for the blossoms to come. God

62
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: is present and he is listening to you. Never forget

63
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: the sowing may be painful, but the result will be

64
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a tree of life. God wants you to grow as

65
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: a person and to experience fulfillment. Reach out to God

66
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: for his grace and mercy to be upon you. Ask

67
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Him to bless you with a mind for endurance and

68
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: a desire for perseverance. Ask the Holy Spirit to help

69
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: you be patient in the process, to not give up,

70
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: to not only survive, but to thrive. Remember what is

71
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: sown in tears, you will reap in joy if you

72
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: do the work, Even if it's done in sadness, you

73
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: will reap the joy of harvest. Be encouraged. Just because

74
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: you don't see the light at the end of the

75
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: tunnel doesn't mean it isn't there. You have God's Holy

76
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Spirit to help you and to guide you. He will

77
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: never leave you nor abandon you. Through faith in Christ,

78
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: you can and you will blossom into a beautiful garden.
