Sewing and Reaping - a perspective

It's important to remember that the biblical principle of sewing and reaping is sure, but it's also a process that takes time. You may plant, and there will be a harvest, but in the time of watering and formation, patience is required. In this time, between planting and seeing the result, our faith is tested, which according to God is a good thing, as untested faith is not biblical faith.
  This is a photo of Josúe, an eight year old kid that will study with us next year. While he is a cute kid, he's never been in school nor in the discipline of school, and while we can see the day where he graduates and even speaks English, our faith is required during the process when we'd like to say - this just isn't working.
  I want to encourage everyone to look at the most difficult things in your lives and remember that you need to plant biblically in these areas and believe God, but don't miss out by being impatient or being frustrated when your faith is tested and things don't seem to be working out.
  A last thought is something I have mentioned before. When a farmer plants a seed, he himself most likely will harvest the fruit. However, he is not the sole beneficiary of what is reaped. His product will primarily be used by others. When we plant spiritually, we can't always expect to be the main beneficiaries of the harvest. Please think how this might apply to your lives.
