Weekly Theme: Becoming Again – Renewal Through Resilience
You may not have seen the fruit yet,
but you planted the seed.
And the soil? It heard your prayers.
Watered by tears.
Held by hope.
Kept warm by your yes.
Some things grow beneath the surface
long before they’re seen.
But oh—how they grow.
Words of Light
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Reflection
Graduation season is a beautiful reminder that something begun in faith — years ago — is now crossing the stage.
A tiny hand once held by a parent… now shakes a diploma.
A nervous freshman… now prepares to face the world.
But not everything that grows wears a cap and gown.
You’ve sown seeds too, haven’t you?
Seeds of prayer.
Seeds of healing.
Seeds of discipline — making the hard choices when no one saw.
And maybe you’re not yet standing in harvest.
Maybe what you’ve planted is still deep in the dirt,
stretching, reaching, learning how to become.
That doesn’t mean the seed has failed.
It means it’s working — in silence.
God honors the work you’ve done in private.
He multiplies the seeds planted with love and purpose.
So take a moment today.
Not just to celebrate others — but to honor what you’ve sown.
You’re becoming again.
And there’s a sprouting underway — even if it’s still unseen.
Pause and Consider:
- What seeds have I planted this year — spiritually, emotionally, or practically?
- Am I giving myself credit for the quiet work I’ve done that no one sees?
- Can I trust that fruit is forming even before I see the evidence?
Affirmation
I honor the seeds I’ve sown — in faith, in silence, and in love. I trust that in the right season, they will bloom.
Peace,
Rita
