What’s Coming Back to You? 

Written By Kimberly Sciscoe

The harvest you reap reveals the seeds you planted. What powerful opportunities we have every day to determine what comes back to us!

I love the rendering of the Passion Translation of Galatians 6

If you plant love, love comes back.

If you plant hate, hate comes back.

If you plant forgiveness, forgiveness comes back.

If you plant revenge, revenge comes back.

If you plant joy, joy comes back.

If you plant sadness, sadness comes back.

Whatever you sow, you will reap.

Too often people β€œsow wild oats” or discord and then pray for a crop failure.   This is not how it works. God’s principles stand.

Jason and I have lived long enough to realize that you don’t always reap in the same season you sowed. There was a season when we sowed a lot of loyalty and didn’t see loyalty return immediately, and it was painful. But now, when we need it most, loyalty is cropping up in abundance all around us.

Trust God with the timing of your planting and reaping.

 I just love the way verses 9–10 express this concept:

Don’t be discouraged as you plant the right things, invest in others, and love lavishly. Joy will come back to you!
