in due time. God wrote a book about growing flowers - shows how meticulous he is in working towards achieving luscious prize-winning fruits. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit....This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."(John 15:5,8) He wants us to bear much fruit...He notices every time we sow seeds in the lives of others, keeps tabs every time we water the seeds with prayer. God chalks them all up in our accounts...and yes we will be rewarded at the very end. God observes flowering faiths and ripening fruits in lives of those we may have invested our christian witness on. when they profit, we gain; when they are rewarded, we reap; when they are lifted up, we're raised up with them. that's what is promised, and God's promises have never been and will never be broken. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.(2 Corinthians 1:20)

dad & I have been on the same frequencies these few days, we've had similar promptings. HAHAHA oh yes, ONENESS IN CHRIST yea. :) we've been talking alot about having the spirit of discernment, to be able to sense when the people around us are burdened or whatever. and here in my devotional it says, "be vigilant about people in your sphere of influence. you are sowing seeds; your prayers are having an impact. so "let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people." (galatians 6:9-10)" it's true He works thru' us. he anoints those he chooses, some more than others. but we all have a purpose of which He's called us to fulfill.

life can get meaningless (yadaya phase of life), boring (I hate it when it's boring..), tiring. virtually every person you and I encounter is struggling with something in their life. so yea, life can be overwhelming at times, even for the most "put together" person. circumstances can lead us to believe that we are alone and isolated. there are times when feelings of grief, fear or anger feel like they will consume us... but we can't let such feelings sink in and always lurk in negativity/depression. I was once told "the root of all the barriers to experiencing God's love is unbelief. when you deny His interest and concern for you, you doubt the truth of Scripture. the Lord wants you to experience His great love in a personal, intimate way. don't let the Enemy's lies or life's hardships, questions steal the enjoyment and security of this great blessing. when your doubts arise, rely on the truth of God's Word." and the truth is, God loves us. the cross proves it. believe that He loves us and we will eventually feel it.

but I too know that fights can get gruelling; our circumstances may be unbearable and we just want the easy way out (which is death)...but ever thought about how such experiences are to strengthen us? if we're willing to grow thru' them, we will. if we can emerge stronger, if we persevere in our faith, if we fight the battles well (it doesn't matter if you lose along the way, you'll stand up and move on), we can continue to bring Him glory, love others & bring the unsaved back home and we can BEAR MUCH MORE FRUIT.

sow seeds in the hearts of others. good things will stir in their souls. :-) and it's a pleasant feeling! to have peace, for real, get to know God. He's greater than ANYTHING else! with Him, all things are possible. with Him, we're eternally victorious.
