"Seeds & Tears"

"Seeds & Tears", by Drew de la Hunt-James

I drew this during our time in Cape Town at a prophetic conference. God has been speaking about sowing seeds in this season, of birthing dreams and visions in believers' hearts, that He wants to germinate, come to life and multiply, giving life to others. Like the mustard seed which is very small, there are those who have felt "very small", insignificant, and they have hid their gifting away because they feel intimidated. God is sowing fresh seeds into hearts, seeds that will grow into something significant as it effects others lives, and multiplies to make a greater impact - "all it takes is just one small seed"!

The Word also speaks of not "sowing divers seeds in your vineyard" - in other words, if God has sown a seed in your heart, don't go an find other seeds or influences in the world and try and bring them to germination to! This is like mixing oil and water. God is saying to creative people that they need to receive from Him alone - go and fetch your colour, or your song, or sound, from heaven for yourself. Imitating other people's convictions or revelation doesn't fulfill your own destiny and leaves you lifeless. Go and get your own revelation and seed, sow it and allow God to multiply it. Then you will feel fulfilled and achieve God's purposes.

Lastly, remember, "they that sow in tears shall reap in joy"! this image (is not an onion!!) portrays a seed, but if it was blue, it would also represent a tear. Sowing your seed has for you felt like sowing tears - it's been a tearful walk & journey. Maybe others haven't understood you or your gifting etc etc. Keep your eyes on what really is important - the one who sows seeds into your heart - God. Go into His presence and allow him to sow exciting seeds for you to initiate and bless others with - enjoy!
