The Sowing & Reaping Mind......deno.....share freely.

         I have never known my dad or our granpa to ever plant any seed and not expect a harvest. Expecting a harvest is natural to the sowing and reaping mind. When they were with us they spent a lot of time preparing the fields for the sowing of their seeds and when they sowed them, they did so skillfully. Then they would til the fields while they-being filled with the joy of the assurance of their hearts expectancy- they would wait excitedly for the first visible signs of their hope manifested. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn of the ear THE HARVEST SURELY CAME. Year after year, season after season it worked.
       Gods sowing and reaping promises are just as sure, even more sure, than all farmers sure expectancy in the seeds they have sown. God cannot lie. His words can never fail when believed. Believe and you will see the glory of God in sowing and reaping.
       Do not limit your thinking to me're money. Goodness reaps goodness. Kindness leads to kindness. Visiting the sick leads to your own blessed visitations. Blessing others grows blessings to come to you. Forgive and you shall reap forgiveness. Do not sow forgiveness and you shall reap no forgiveness from God.
       God is our harvest guaranteer so do not quench His Spirit with your unkindness and your unforgiveness. Love reaps love. Mercy reaps mercy. Being friendly leads to friendliness. Bearing others burdens is a seed you sow, a harvest is attached to that seed sown. Cloth others and you shall be clothed. Feed others and you shall be fed. Give just a cup of cold water to a child of God and Jesus said you shall by no means lose your  reward.  In this life and in the life to come the harvest surely comes if we attend to the field of the seed we have planted in.
      No wise farmer plants and walks off. He guards his field from weeds and from the birds of the air and from the beast of the field. He guards his heart with all diligence and he WATCHES HIS TONGUE to not uproot what he has planted. An unwise, unskillful sower scatters seed all over the place. He cannot really tell good soil from bad ground. But the skillful experienced farmer plants with wisdom, til's with understanding, waits with excitement, and reaps with Joy. He is filled from the sowing to the reaping with a heart of Blessed Assurance.
       Blessed Assurance itself is true spiritual patience. It is BEING SURE at all times, in all trials, in all testings it remains the same. Yes Blessed Assurance is the farmers patience with joy with sure expectation that he is going to reap a good harvest.....Jesus & deno....share freely.
