“The Harvester isn’t waiting. He’s taking his pay, gathering in this grain that’s ripe for eternal life. Now the Sower is arm in arm with the Harvester, triumphant. That’s the truth of the saying, ‘This one sows, that the other reaps.’"
John 4:37 MSG
"Those who sow in tears, will reap in joy!" Psalm 126:5
