Sowing & Reaping

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(Gal 6:7)
Shimei, a prominent Benjamite from the Saul Clan cursed David while the King was on the run from David’s unruly and out of control son, Absalom (son of Maacah). (2 Samuel 3:3) Shimei’s life was spared when David ‘re-took’ his “rightful throne.” When Solomon was anointed king, Shimei’s life was again spared until he disobeyed the king’s orders (1 Kings 2:44-46). He was then executed. Shimei had reaped what he had sown with the seeds of hatred, seditions, wrath, strife, and more. Strike Three! You’re out !!
This Bible verse (Gal 6:7) is still true with Believers, those who are called ‘Christians’. Even though we are washed in the blood of the Lamb, and our sins have been removed (Ps 103:12) from us, we find that “what we have sown in our lives, we may reap.” Friend, Come to Jesus early. Lead those “little ones” to Christ at an early age. The longer one waits to come to Christ (John 1:12), the more seeds he or she may sow. And the more regrets they may have. I thank God and trust in His great and wonderful mercy (Ps 52:8). Don’t you?
Let us plant the seeds of love, joy, peace, and gentleness for our remaining years (Gal 5:22-23) on this earth and we will see incredible results. As a 'believer', if you are struggling you may want to pray this: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” (Ps 51:10)
If you're not sure of your salvation or do not have a personal relationsip
with Jesus, you may pray this below:
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Rom 10:9)
