Life in the Spirit isn’t a flashy performance—it’s quiet, faithful sowing. As Paul wraps up his letter to the Galatians, he offers a tender, urgent word of encouragement: Don’t give up. Keep doing what is good. Keep sowing to the Spirit—even when the results aren’t immediate, even when the soil feels dry, even when the road seems long and uncertain. Because a harvest will come—in God’s time, not ours.
We live in a world that moves fast and demands proof. We want results now, validation now, change now. But Paul invites us into a slower, deeper rhythm: bearing one another’s burdens with gentleness, restoring the fallen with compassion, testing our own motives with honesty, and anchoring our lives in the truth that we are a “new creation” in Christ. The Christian life is not about religious performance or comparison—it’s about steady, daily acts of grace. It’s about planting seeds of love, justice, kindness, and truth, one small gesture at a time.
This Sunday, we’ll reflect on what it means to live faithfully between the sowing and the reaping. How do we keep going when the progress is invisible? How do we resist weariness in a world that often rewards only what is seen? Paul’s message is simple and powerful: don’t lose heart. Keep showing up. Keep planting. Trust the Spirit’s quiet work.
So let us not grow weary in doing what is right. Let us keep working for the good of all—and especially for those within the household of faith. Because our labor in love is never wasted. The fruit will come. The harvest is on its way. Don’t give up.
