For centuries people have toiled in the fields, planting crops for food and sustenance. But anyone who has tilled the soil will tell you that it takes great patience because the fruits of their labor can be affected by so many factors such as wind, rain, snow, and temperature. The growing season takes months to produce a bountiful harvest. This is true in our personal lives as well. Many times we feel we have made a positive impact but fail to see immediate results. When we doubt if our daily efforts, sacrifices, acts of faith, and good deeds are making a difference, remember the promise of Jesus. He assures us that the smallest seeds we plant will grow in unimaginable ways. Give the Lord your best today. He will do the rest!
