You Will Always...

"You will always reap what you sow!" Galatians 6:7

Do you see the word always?

We will always reap what we sow.

If we sow laziness, we will reap poverty, homelessness, and starvation.

If we sow selfishness, we will reap, pride, jealousy, greediness, envy, etc.

If we sow anger, we will reap hurtfulness, broken families, broken hearts, and broken futures (of those we hurt)

If we sow love, we will reap, joy, fulfilled relationships, love in return, and Christ likeness.

If we sow peace, will reap contentment, goodness, unity and godliness.

If we sow worldliness, we will reap sinfulness, discontent, unhappiness, separation from Christ, etc.

If we sow doubt, we will reap confusion, being misled, frustration, discouragement,

What are you sowing? Evaluate your crop, because come harvest time, Christ will separate
the good crop from the bad.

"All right, he said. I, the Son of Man, am the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels. Just as the weeds are separated out and burned, so it will be at the end of the world. I, the Son of Man, will send my angels, and they will remove from my Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil, and they will throw them into the furnace and burn them. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the godly will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand!" Matthew 13:37-43

Jesus reveal to each of us today what we are sowing. Help us to be more mindful and aware each day of what we sow, and show us before hand, through the power of the Holy Spirit, what we will reap from it. Amen
