LOVING AND SHARING=REAPING THE HARVEST

LOVING AND SHARING-
REAPING THE HARVEST




The ONE thing
That I KNOW about love


Is that the more we give
THE more we HAVE
To give


At least
That is the way
It has worked for me
In this world


And SHARING
Is one of the first things
That we are taught
In this world
As children


I just wonder
If the ONES
Who don't learn to love
And share


Are the one
Who grow up
To be the psychopaths
And sociopaths
Of this world


“WHOEVER sows sparingly
Will also reap sparingly


And whoever sows bountifully
Will also reap bountifully” 2 Corinthians 9:6


This verse is true
In EVERY area of our lives


It speaks to us
To our GENEROSITY
Of time-money-and prayer
To-and for others


“In the midst
Of a very severe trial


Their overflowing JOY
And their extreme poverty
Welled up in rich GENEROSITY” 2 Corinthians 8:2


We can ALWAYS
Be GENEROUS
In some area
Of our life


If we
Have no money
We can be generous
In other areas


And always at least
In SHARING our love
And PRAYING for others


“You will be enriched
In every way


So that you
Can be GENEROUS


And through us
Your generosity will result
In thanksgiving to GOD” 2 Corinthians 9:11


God will PROVIDE for you
So that you can SHARE
Your LOVE with others


In time
In money
And in PRAYER


At least he has
DONE so for me


But we NEED
To trust God


LOVE AND SHARE
Reap the harvest of love


In a way
The above verse
(“SOWING sparingly-or
sowing bountifully”)
Speaks to us about FORGIVENESS


We NEED to forgive
EASILY AND OFTEN
(70 x 7)
NOT always so easy to do
At least for me


God is MERCIFUL and KIND
To us
So he CALLS us to be
MERCIFUL AND KIND to others


But MOST of all
THIS verse speaks to us
ABOUT LOVE


The well of our love
NEVER runs dry


GIVING ourselves away
IN LOVE


ALLOWS us
To live authentically and joyfully


For if we
Are truly living by
LOVING AND SHARING


It allows us to
REAP IN THE HARVEST
