Psalms 126:5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
126:5. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Hence, present distress must not be viewed as if it would last forever: it is not the end, by any means, but only a means to the end. Sorrow is our sowing; rejoicing will be our reaping. Workers, waiters, and weepers, in due season they shall reap. It is not every sowing which is thus insured against all danger, and guaranteed a harvest; but the promise specially belongs to sowing in tears. When someone’s heart is so stirred that he weeps over the sins of others, he is elect to usefulness. Winners of souls are first weepers for souls. As there is no birth without travail, so is there no spiritual harvest without painful tillage. When our own hearts are broken with grief at man’s transgression we shall break other people’s hearts; tears of earnestness beget tears of repentance.
