“…A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 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 6:7-9
I read this scripture and it struck me that I feel so much more fulfillment in doing something kind for someone else than I do when I think about what I want for myself. The more I pray for others needs, the less I seem to care about my own. I try each day to simply trust that God knows my needs and will provide. Trust me, there are times that I struggle with fear over my needs, but I try to remember to lay it at the Fathers feet, and somehow He always works for my good. When I look over my life, I see where God has used a lot of very wonderful people who had a servant’s heart, I believe, to meet my needs. In a time and age where there is so much anger and selfish behavior, it can easily cause us to become very cynical about the good that is left in humanity. That is the enemy! I may have no control over the choices and behavior of others but by george, I am gonna be a servant! When I stand before my father on the day He calls me home, I want to hear, “…Well done, good and faithful servant!..” Matt.25:21
