Quality is Shown

You cannot reap what you do not sow
In heaven above or on the earth below
How can God answer a prayer not said?
Or multiply money, not contributed?

In giving we receive many times again
You must plant a seed to reap a dividend
What you then reap looks nothing like the seed
A bountiful harvest where there once was just a need

In God’s economy love must be your aim
Do nothing out of greed, vainglory, or fame
The fruit you produce in your harvest tells a tale
It’s quality is shown by every small detail

Galatians 6:7-10 – “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 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. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Galatians 5:22-25 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
