A Lesson From my Blueberry Bushes

I planted six different types of blueberries this year. After testing our soil, I realized it was defficient in everything. We added pete moss, pine needles, and a host of other things to the soil before planting them. After all the work of planting the bushes, I had to pay close attention to when they needed watering. I did this in hopes of them producing blueberries.

My little sister said to me the other day, "When we planted those bushes, we had to wait a long time before we got to have the blueberries." I agreed with her and explained that it's that way in all of life.

Often we work hard and do not get anything back right away. Even in doing kingdom work, you may not see the results until Christ returns. We must preach the gospel without losing heart. We may not get to see the results of our witnessing, but we are called to be faithful. We should share the gospel out of obedience to Christ and love for Him. We can rest assured that His word will accomplish His purposes.

"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."

 Galatians 6:9
