We Shall Reap

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." -Galatians 6:9

I love this scripture. There are so many instances in the scriptures where we see the phrase "in due time (or season)." There's much we can gain from these scriptures. Heavenly Father doesn't promises that our blessings will always immediately come, but they will come eventually if we are faithful. It reminds me of a quote by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. He says, "Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come." (Full talk can be found here.) Part of the test of mortality is to endure to the end. Not just endure, but endure faithfully. And eventually we will receive the blessings we seek and desire.
