But what if your brokenness isn’t a sign that God is finished? What if it’s proof that He’s starting something new? God never wastes pain. He never leaves ground untouched by purpose. In His Kingdom, broken ground is fertile ground. “Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” – Hosea 10:12 (NKJV) Sometimes God has to break the ground to prepare it for the next season.

There are seasons when God doesn’t just hand you a seed — He sends you as one. He places you in families, workplaces, churches, and communities, not simply to receive a harvest, but to become one. You are the seed God plants to bring change, light, and fruit to places that have gone dry. And like any seed, you may have to endure darkness, pressure, and time before your purpose begins to grow.

The Word of God never returns void. It may be buried deep beneath disappointment or delay, but it’s alive, active, and growing — even when you can’t see it.

Spiritually, that same tension exists in our lives. We sow faithfully, pray persistently, and believe wholeheartedly, yet sometimes it feels like nothing’s happening. The ground looks undisturbed. The air feels quiet. The waiting feels endless. And that’s where most people give up — right before the bloom.

That moment between seed and harvest is what I call “the weight of waiting.” Waiting is heavy because it tests both your endurance and your belief. It’s the space where you can’t see what God is doing, but you must trust that He’s still doing it. It’s not wasted time — it’s working time, where the roots grow deeper before the fruit appears.
