Dear Friends,
I hope you are doing well in the Lord, and by faith, I believe you are.
Tying in with Today’s Devotion, and with Kelly’s Scripture from yesterday too … I hope you take time to look each … As I was about to post this, I remembered something the Lord put on my heart this morning.
I know all around the world, you are experiencing some kind of weather. In NC, we have been experiencing heavy rain. Our driveway actually flooded, but it has receded. This morning as I was preparing my heart to receive Today’s Devotion, I thought about this rain with a new perspective … beyond the new lake in our field.
“April Showers bring May Flowers” … and what else is God making grow with the rain? I thought of how beneath the earth’s service we have a water well. Only God knows it is time to replenish …
I will leave you with that thought; we too need to replenish and God knows how to renew and refresh our spirit which battles for the best in our mind. And when you receive this, you will never be the same!

Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.
“The Tears” Water, By Karen Rowe
This Verse is not about what you know, . It is about WHOM you know.
Like most verses, what follows is important. The next verse explains more. Can I share with you what the Lord showed me this morning?
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalms 126:5-6 KJV
The seed is the Word of GOD. The seed is the Life with God. The seed has life in It.
Like a seed, it is not buried to kill It. It is covered with soil for the Life to burst out of It!
What happens to the shell? It falls off when it is no longer needed! OH THERE IS SO MUCH HERE!
But, as much joy that is set before us, know that JOY is our Strength to burst through the ground to be what God is growing you to be!
Know this! If something happens to make you feel defeated, that’s the devil trying to defeat that life in you still. Goodness! Satan is still fighting against God down here! And Satan uses you to get to God, because how do you best hurt the parent, but through the child.
Do you know you belong to God yet? Do you know the love God has for you? Do you know how MUCH God loves you?
God loves you SO MUCH that it is Written, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
So the seed of Life is the Gospel of JESUS. It is not about what we know, but WHOM we know. God looks at our heart…
I saw an online Pastor attacked this morning by someone who meant well for others. Yet by the way this person put in their 2Cents worth, instead of adding to the good that this online Pastor was doing; His words had no power, but to target tears toward what the devil wanted which was to tear down the Pastor.
God’s uses all kinds of methods to share the Gospel to plant the seed of God’s Word & provide water to our growing…
But the way The Lord revealed this Verse to me this mornimg, the tears is the water & the Lord makes it grow!
So, stay encouraged. Don’t give up on God, because God has not given up on you!
Read on from John 3:16 !
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe
“WRITING THE STORY OF MY LIFE WITH EVERY CHOICE JESUS HELPS ME TO MAKE AND LEARNING HOW TO BE BLESSED AND LIVE LIFE LARGE, HAPPY AND FREE. I CARE.”
Personal Motto: “I don’t have it all figured out, BUT GOD DOES … Follow JESUS!”
Personal Revelation Life Verse: And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him (1 John 4:16 HCSB)
Thank you Jesus!
Holy Spirit you are welcome here!
