For the past couple of months, I often wonder whether I am bearing fruits - not outward evidence that my work is prospering, but Lord I have committed my cause into Your hands and my judgement is with You. Even last Sunday's preaching was different from the Sunday before. It was well-received and my heart was warmed that church members felt encouraged and strengthened and one even wrote and asked for the sermon notes on Amos 5. A preacher is like a farmer sowing seeds, not knowing which ones will bear fruits and which will die and disappear into the earth even as ministry in the Lord is not by sight but by faith, knowing that if we labour, wearied though we are, we shall reap if we don't give up.
