Psalms 126:5
“Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.”
What does Psalms 126:5 mean?
Sorrow and struggle are part of how growth happens, and this verse promises that the hard seasons won't have the final word. When you plant seeds, you work through rain, mud, and uncertainty before anything sprouts, and the same is true for the deeper work of your life. Whatever you're investing in during difficult times—whether that's showing up for your family, pursuing something meaningful, or just staying faithful when things are dark—isn't wasted effort. The harvest comes, and when it does, the joy of seeing what grew is real and worth the wait.
