Whatever you have done, it will follow you. Some call it karma; I call it a principle.

This reflects a fundamental truth about our actions and their consequences. Every choice we make, whether good or bad, creates a ripple effect that influences our lives and the lives of others.

The concept of karma suggests that the energy we put into the world returns to us, shaping our experiences and outcomes.

This isn’t just a mystical idea; it’s a principle rooted in the bible. 

When we act with kindness, integrity, and respect, we create a positive legacy that can come back to us in surprising ways. On the other hand, negative actions like deceit and selfishness can lead to consequences that may haunt us later. This principle reminds us to be aware of our choices, as they are part of a larger picture in life.

By understanding this principle, we can make better decisions and take responsibility for our actions. It encourages us to live authentically and consciously, knowing that our actions matter and will shape our journey.

Wait on the LORD

“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 

If we have planted, let us wait for the harvest to spring up. 

If we did not, let us get to work!

Don’t get discouraged, continue to water and take care of our plant. (Metaphorically speaking)

Encouraging NOTE

Don’t let a small bump on the road to distract you from where God is taking you. Stay focused, and do good. 

Boast in the Lord

Boasting- excessively proud and self-satisfied talk about one’s achievements, possessions, or abilities

If we must boast or take pride in anything, let us boast in the Lord.

We are so quick to boast or take pride in our accomplishments, achievements, abilities, or talents not realzing this is all passing accomplishments and achievements. 

Not even in the FACT of the LAW ! Because it does not mean anything.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also

Journaling & Reflection

Pray and Apply

Reflect on the seeds you are currently sowing and the harvest of righteousness promised to those who sow good seed. Ask God to show you if there are seeds that are pleasing your flesh instead of honoring the Spirit of God. And if you are struggling with weariness, meditate on Galatians 6:9 and allow the Spirit of God to renew hope and strength within you.

Paul called out the true motives of those who were persuading believers to forsake the Gospel of grace. Motives are powerful, and when not put in check, can wreak havoc in both our own lives and the lives of others. Take a few minutes to pray and allow the Holy Spirit to continue to purify your motives. Open your heart before God and let Him speak to you and minister to your heart. Ask God to create within your heart a pure motive to see the Gospel of Grace made known to those around you.

LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS 💭

Your Story is important to someone else. The details of your testimony are life to someone else. I couldn’t have spoken into strangers life, if I myself did not go through the battles. I can only speak because I know the pain, the hurt, and confusion. I pray God comforts us, and gives us the grace to tell our story, no matter how small the details are.

 

Let’s not hesitate to share our testimonies and help each other walk through the valleys, and reach our destinations together. With a sense of fulfillment, and helping others get there can be a rewarding and satisfying experience, because when we lift each other up, we don’t just reach our destinations, we thrive in them.
