FJWL_01:448
         You've seen the fruit of the Word. Therefore do not doubt in your heart that it can be lived, and that it can spring forth and bear fruit in much abundance! Don't you know that these things take time? Many hours of labor--tilling and plowing and fertilizing the field--must be spent before the ground is receptive enough to receive the seeds. Then there are many more hours of watering and tending. It takes weeks, and sometimes even months, before the little blades of green shoot up. And still more months, sometimes even years, before the tree, vine, bush or plant brings forth its fruit in its season.
         You have need of patience, that after you have done the will of God you may receive the promise. Keep your eyes turned upward toward My face, continually drinking in and absorbing My Words, feasting on My Spirit and the faith and inspiration that I alone can give. This is what will sustain you and uphold you during your days of battle and toiling in the field.
