“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9) The bible reveals that God speaks to us through the nature that is around us. If we carefully study the teachings of Jesus we can see that He used simple facts of the nature to demonstrate and illustrate deep spiritual truths. That is what we see once again in our present text. There is a law in the nature called, “The Law of Sowing and Reaping”. We know that we reap what we sow. So, we decide what kind of a crop we are going to reap right at the time of sowing. Nobody else decides what kind of a crop we are going to have. We alone can decide whatever kind of crop we want to have. We sow accordingly, if we want to reap wheat, we have to sow wheat only. If we want to reap rice, we have to sow rice only. There is no use of trying to reap wheat at the harvest time if we have sown rice. This law of sowing and reaping is universally applicable. This law is applicable in every area of our life. In our spiritual life, we reap whatever we sow. In our social life, we reap what we sow. In our natural and literal agricultural too, we reap whatever we sow. If we are generous to care for the needs of others and if we try to help others to come out of their problems we will have a pleasant surprise of watching others do the same for us. If we are forgiving, we will be forgiven too. If we love, we will be loved too. Jesus said in the gospel according to Luke 6: 37, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.” Let us see in the next verse what Jesus is saying – “Forgive , and you will be forgiven.” That is the law of sowing and reaping in operation. We all know that we reap what we sow, but what we have to understand is, all our actions, deeds and attitudes are seeds. Our attitude is to decide the attitude for others toward us. Everybody likes to be forgiven and accepted and everybody likes to receive help if he or she is in trouble. If we want to be accepted by others and receive help from others we must make it our regular habit of forgiving, accepting and helping others. How blessed are the people who sow the right seed in the day to day life. They will receive the crop they need when the harvest time comes. Let us begin to sow love, compassion, forgiveness and generosity today and each day of our life. May God bless you!
