In this sermon Talk to Your Tears, we find tears in a number of things. Consider with me that we are brought into this world amidst tears.

Our text brings us to a very important point of revelation.  There's an understanding that these people who were sowers of the seed would often do so under great duress.

They often were under the heavy constraints of limited resources. The seed that they took to plant was almost as if they were taking food from the mouths of their children simply to plant for the harvest. Every seed that was cast into the ground was very valuable. It was crucial that a yield be brought from this seed cast into the ground. The sower would sometimes plant in doubt, fear, and distress.

Yet, there is a great spiritual law that prevails (very unpopular with our generation, I might add) and that is, through tribulation we enter into the joy of the Kingdom. God means for us to reap in joy but first we must sow in tears.
