Scripture: Galatians 6:9 "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."
I hope for your life to be filled with God's love and blessing. Now I want to share the grace with each of you through this message titled with "The Fruit of Love."
When a few traditional feasts come, all the members of a family come together and enjoy themselves. Suppose you are a Christian who loves God and meet your family for a long time. You may wish all the members of your family would accept Jesus Christ and believe din God.
It is the best for all your family to believe in Jesus Christ and run the race of faith with the hope for heaven, but what will you do if some of your family has not been saved yet? In Galatians 6:9, God says "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." So, must not lose heart but believe that you will necessarily reap the fruit of your evangelism at the proper time.
Moreover, just as parents sacrifice and dedicate themselves to their children because of their love, you have to show your love to the souls and do everything in love unchangingly. Then, God will work for them and they will become poor in spirit and be forced to open their hearts or have dreams or spiritual experiences.
God the Almighty can work for each individual in accordance with his own heart and situation with the amazing wisdom and strength that are transcending human thoughts.
Thus, if you do everything in love to lead as many souls to the path to salvation, you can reap when the time comes. You may suffer indescribable sorrows of which you talk to anyone and experience the suffering of betrayal of the person whom you have loved. In that situation if you do not lose heart but patiently do everything with unchanging love, you will surely reap beautiful fruits.
You have to overcome storms and gales and the scorching sunlight in order to reap the fruit of evangelism, but if you succumb to those things you cannot bear the fruit. I urge you to believe and expect that those whom you evangelize will become the children of God and give thanks to you in heaven for ever and ever and to preach the gospel in seasons and out of seasons.
Therefore, may each of you plant the seed of the gospel into the heart of your family and friends and cultivate them with truthful love so that you can reap beautiful and abundant fruits, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I pray!
