A person can get so discouraged when there does not seem to be any fruit, or even seedlings, to show for their efforts. It can be hard to remember that our Lord desires not that we harvest this many or this much in this time period, but a heart that is faithfully and steadfastly obedient no matter what the human outcome. How much I pray to be content in whatever circumstances, whether reaping much or lovingly tending a patch of seemingly barren soil that several years from now someone else will harvest. <br />I loved how you put Churchill and Spurgeon together! It may sound funny, but I think I will remember this exhortation better because you did. I may just put this in my prayer notebook to encourage me on those rough days.<br />Thank you, Karen, again for a lovely article.Cory R.noreply@blogger.com
