We cannot reap what we did not plant
both literally and spiritually!
Yesterday's harvest included onions!
Gal.6:7-8
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked;
for whatever a man sows,
that he will also reap.
8 For he who sows to his flesh
will of the flesh reap corruption,
but he who sows to the Spirit
will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Below excerpt by J.R.Miller
I cannot bear your weight of care
Nor you, mine; we must each
Shoulder lessons in trust and prayer
That God alone can teach
Our sacred share in live-and-learn
Holds more than meets the eye
The rich reward of faith's return
Not now, but by and by
You cannot love on my behalf
Nor I on yours; no one
Can weep my tears or taste my laugh
-ter for a fight, well-won/task well done
When life is through then I will stand
To answer for the seeds
Not strewn by someone else's hand
But for my words and deeds
I will not give account for you
Nor you for me; each one
When this God-granted life is through
Will answer God alone
No one to point a finger at
When each life is laid bare
As God opens the record that
Reaches from here to there
Janet Martin
Ps.86:5, 9&11
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works.
All nations whom You have made
Shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And shall glorify Your name.
For You are great, and do wondrous things;
You alone are God.
Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
[c]Unite my heart to fear Your name.
