THE SEEDS WE HAVE SOWN <\/p>\n

We all sometimes become discouraged,
\nWhen our endeavors appear in vain,
\nWe work so hard preaching the Gospel,
\nAnd yet so little fruit we seem to gain.<\/p>\n

Then that old Satan comes rushing in,
\nHe shouts at us “What is even the use?”
\n“No one cares about what you’re saying”,
\nBut don’t you dare suffer his vile abuse.<\/p>\n

Because while we may never even see it,
\nThe seeds we plant will fulfill God’s Will,
\nAlthough some may fall upon the stones,
\nAnd yet others wild birds will surely steal.<\/p>\n

But some seed will fall upon good ground,
\nAnd peradventure it will indeed take root,
\nWith careful watering and some weeding,
\nThe seeds will eventually bear good fruit.<\/p>\n

So please don’t become too discouraged,
\nSimply trust that God will have His way,
\nJust remain faithful to plant those seeds,
\nAnd He’ll indeed reward you one fine day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
