There is a passage in the bible about sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7 says, ‘whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.’ This means that if for example, you sow (plant) strife and hate, you will reap (harvest) strife and hate in return. If you sow forgiveness, love, honor, and respect, you will receive back those attributes.

It doesn’t matter if you believe it. Its true. If you are honest in your own life, you will see this play out. Its like a farmer that sows corn in his field (there is also scripture about this) he expects to harvest corn. The farmers doesn’t plant corn and then jump up and down and get mad when he doesn’t get beans. So, he planted corn, and he expects to get corn. Same way in our life.

I heard a guy say something the other day that stuck me. He said “the pain of the harvest eclipses the pleasure of the planting. He was of course speaking about the other unsavory bad deeds that people do. If a person decided to rob a bank, the pleasure of the unearned money is quickly eclipsed by the pain of having to pay the price for it.

There are many passages in the bible that have similar meanings such as, “as you give, it will be given unto you.” Again, it doesn’t matter if we believe it or not, this is the way life is. Therefore, sow (plant) well that your harvest will be also be well. KT
