This reflection discusses Psalm 126:5-6, focusing on "sowing in tears" and "reaping in joy." It explores what brings people to tears—such as sadness, fear, helplessness, frustration, tragedy, loss, and suffering—and offers guidance for such times: sow. Sowing in tears means planting seeds of faith and the Word of God (Jesus) into the Spirit. This is contrasted with sowing into the flesh, which leads to corruption and decay. The message emphasizes that the seed is the Word of God, embodied in Jesus, and that the outcome depends on where the seed is planted. Sowing into the Spirit leads to eternal life and communion with God, while sowing into the flesh results in further corruption. The reflection also highlights the importance of interpreting and responding to life through the lens of Scripture rather than from the "false self." It reminds readers that sowing and reaping is a process that unfolds over time, not a one-time event.
