With God all things are possible

| The principle of sowing and reaping is found throughout Scripture. From the beginning we see how God established this in the natural world: "Then God said, " Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, an the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth; and it was so. Genesis 1:11
This same principle applies to everyday life in your behavior, attitudes, thoughts, and speech. If you sow anger , you will reap anger, sow mercy reap mercy.
Paul said to meditate on what is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, virtuous, and of good report Phil 4:8 Why?
To sow good seed in your mind so that you will reap a bountiful harvest of good.
Today, be aware of what is good around you and thank God for it. Compliment another person; help someone, leave a generous tip. Then look back on this day and see the difference your attitude made.
Be a POINT OF LIGHT, PAY IT FORWARD
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. HAVE A VERY BLESSED WEDNESDAY

ETA: Sowing as we reap has been one of my most feared punishments. I want to sow well, but don't always. I want to try to do right and cultivate good things, but don't. It seems to me that if there was more importance on that sowing as we reap, perhaps in our world of such gruesome crimes, inequalities, worldly disasters, etc., our world might be a better place.

| Really like this!!! Sometimes we forget that reaping doesn't always mean "they will get what they deserve" as much as we need to forgive them for what they have done, because we have been forgiven. | |
