I have two small postcards of Vincent van Gogh paintings on my wall, The Sower and The Harvest.
The Sower seems dark and barren...
yet there is hope rising.
The Harvest is bright and plentiful.
~
Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
The one who continually goes forth weeping,
bearing seed for sowing,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing in the sheaves.
Psalm 126:5-6
Why are you cast down, o my soul? Why is my heart disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
Psalm 43:5
~
There is a harvest after the sowing!
