Toil of Growth

For all of you who have loved ones and others whom you desire to the Lord be encouraged if you've planted seeds, the seeds are being watered and the Son is shining, soon they'll being growing. Remember it's God who gives the increase.


Dark, lonely, without the light of day

Wide and straining the eyes remain

Looking, Hoping for the smallest glimmer or ray

Wet and moist is the ground due to rain

Small, delicate, seemingly dying

When will it end, this struggle for life

Little one please cease the sense of worry

In the hand of life’s author, currently you rest

Breathe, stop, be still and know

After all this is where seeds grow

Days are long, rest is little

On your knees continue focused and determined

No distractions, the matter is settled

Hearts are hard, but with time soften

As rain falls long and often

When the sun comes out, begins to shine

Take hold of the plow, without a glance behind

Time seems long, and work seems slow

But God is God, be still and know

After all this is where seeds grow
