“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:7-8

Dear Jesus, Sometimes your word is painfully honest with me. Here it blows away the lie that I can live for my selfish instincts and get away with it. It’s the lie that I could be careless with the feelings of others, greedy, lustful and selfishly ambitious and think that I could still live without being lonely, guilty or filled with shame. I am deeply thankful that you have given me a great “other choice.” By your Spirit you have confronted my selfishness and through forgiveness you made an escape for me that I can survive. I want to live by your Holy Spirit who drives me with love, who leads me with grace, and who comforts me with peace. Help me to follow your Spirit into a life that sows seeds of goodness all around. Amen.

The life of sowing and reaping is a great game changer for everyone.
