You will not Plant the Seed and Eat the Fruit on the Same Day

We all have the tendency to desire for things to happen in an instant. Sometimes, we forget to appreciate the waiting season and the process because we are too focused on the specific blessings we wanted. We forget that we can’t plant the seed and eat the fruit on the same day. It takes time to grow and nourish so that it will bear healthy fruits. So learn to wait and be patient. Mother nature already speaks to us about the necessary process that we need to go through before we experience the harvest season. Please don’t rush. Allow God to take good care of the seeds that you planted. Let them grow deeper on the ground first so that the roots will be stronger.

Keep on planting and be patient. There are moments when you will feel like giving up because you can’t see the fruits of the things you’ve been working hard for, but you need to wait. Growth takes time, and the most important process lies within the ground. When you can’t see any changes on the outside, God is strengthening the roots on the inside. He needs to build your foundation first so that you will be able to victoriously face any storm that comes your way. God is not withholding blessings. He is just preparing you. There are still important lessons that you need to learn in this season.

It takes hard work and perseverance. Planting seeds feels so tiring, especially when you can’t see any changes in your life. That’s why you need to have faith. Believe that God sees everything that you are doing for His glory. Keep on following His will even if you can’t see what’s ahead. Let your faith be greater than the doubts you feel inside. If you are tired, then take some rest. But after that, choose to get up and move forward. The process may not be easy, but you will see the fruits of your labor one day.

Trust the God will make your seeds grow. He will sustain them. Your role is just to plant as many seeds as you can, and God will be the one who will make them grow. When the time is right, you will harvest everything that you’ve been working hard for. And that’s when you will realize that God never wasted every single seed that you planted. God will finish what He started in your life. Remember that He is faithful enough to give you the blessings that you need.
