Living a Christ centered life is not always easy or glamorous as it sometimes portrayed . At times it can be downright dirty and painful as the curse of sin and death rears its ugly head and can cause a whole lot of problems for us and the ones we love. Jesus never promised this life would be easy but he promised we shall overcome if we trust in him and walk in his ways. That's not to say that there is no joy in serving the living God. But like all things there is bad as well as good and you can not have one without the other. This verse speaks about how we should remember to look ahead of our struggles and sin and that the tears we shed today will be like seeds that are planted in a field that in time thru much toil and suffering will rise to a great harvest of joy and thankfulness.
[Keith McGivern]
