Sowing Good Seed

If you plant tomato seeds, you reap tomatoes. If you plant squash seeds you reap squash. If you plant corn, you reap corn. When a gardner or farmer goes out to plant his/her field, he/she fully expects to reap what they sow. The same is true spiritually! If I sow to the Word of God and am a DOER OF IT, I will reap a good harvest of blessing in my life. If I sow to the flesh, I will reap destruction. Galatians 6:8 ” For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlation life.” I find it comforting to know that with God I can obtain mercy and forgivness. I can turn my life around and start doing the right things! If I have sowed bad seed in my life, through God grace I can stop a bad harvest from growing up in my life. Hebrews 4:16 ” Let us therefore come bodly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and FIND GRACE to help in time of need.” If we are having trouble in any given area, God says there is GRACE to HELP YOU OVERCOME! So i want to encourage you today, start sowing the right kind of seed in your life, in your family, in your marriage, in every area! If you’ve made mistakes, don’t be discouraged or think its too late. It’s never to late to start doing good and never any time to do what is bad! God loves you and there is nothing you can do to separate you from His love!( Romans 8:38)

“There is no pit so deep, that God’s love is not deeper still.” – Corry Ten Boom

You Can Make It!

 

Do you ever feel like giving up on yourself? Like the mistakes you made in the past are to big to get over? Or like there is no way God could ever forgive you? Well let me say, there is hope! God hasn’t changed His mind about you or His plans for you! He wants to restore you! 

I found out God did not fall off His throne just because you made a mistake or even sinned. Yes He wants us to live right and we should, but we have to realize if we mess up we can always get up and get back in the game! GOD LOVES YOU! His love for you is far greater than any mistake you could ever make. He wants you to succeed! Don’t let your past dictate your future! As my dad always says,  “If you mess up, fess’ up, and get up!”

Remember what 1 John 2:1 says, ” My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” Why do you think God put that scripture in the Bible? For all of us! Sometimes we all mess up. So we can have comfort knowing Jesus stands on our behalf pleading our case before the Father. The blood of Jesus washes away ALL SIN!

So don’t give up on yourself. God hasn’t given up on you! YOU CAN MAKE IT!
