When you work and toil for something its rarely fun. And thats why i have given up on so many things, and i quess it has been the same with you. Sowing constantly means to toil and work for something you want to see happening in the future. Like being a mom; practising your instrument; studying; working out; keeping your heart free for the Special Future Someone; being constant in prayer; serving; doing what God has told you to do... It can mean that you have to give up many things that could ease your heart or make you laugh (for a little while). Its hard or impossible when you forget the reaping, and the eternal joy. Yes - the toil lasts for a while but the joy lasts forever.
So next time you feel like giving up, think about what will happen when you dont, think about the laughter to come; dont throw everything aside just for a perishable moment of ease! Keep in mind that you can have an everlasting joy, when you just refuse to give up.
"Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126:5,6
