Sown In Tears

"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy" Psalms 126:5. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" Psalms 30:5. In this life of mine, I have done a whole lot of crying, but at the same time, that old man was dying (the Adam nature). Before the death of Jesus, he suffered through a whole lot of things for our sake. The Bible said that he was wounded, he was bruised, he was despised, and he was rejected, and then he was crucified. The Bible tells me in 1 Peter 4:1: I got to arm myself likewise and suffer. There is consolation in knowing that God is going to deliver me out of all my afflictions. Trials brings forth pain and pain bring forth weeping and tears, and in the midst of my weeping and crying, I heard the Lord say, "Don't miss your harvest that has been sown in tears". My first book, "I Overcame by the Blood of the Lamb", in my writing, I was in pain and did a lot of crying: old wounds were opened. The second book I wrote, God had me to title it, "The Costly Anointing". God said, what you have suffered through is what has caused my anointing to be upon and within your life, and that is very costly: it is called The Costly Anointing. God said, you have suffered through a lot, and now it is time to reap your harvest that has been sown in tears. My consolation is in Revelation 21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

This book details my personal experiences and those of many persons who I have co-mourned with during their time of the loss of loved ones. At some point in our lives or maybe for the rest of our lives we will grieve. But grief is not a problem to be solved, it is a reality to engage and learn to incorporate into our lives. It is not to be placed on the periphery, treating it as a nuisance to be avoided. The reflections contained in this book span the range of emotions and consequences of grief in an honest, balanced way that refuses to explain away or deny grief. Grief is a journey, but never go it alone.
