Ya know, I'm not a preacher, but sometimes this stuff hits me so hard my blog is THE best way for me to release it lol.
I was talking to my mom the other day about something and she really put me at ease when she said, don't worry about it you reap what you sow.
What I had to remember is when it's TIME to reap, it might not come back like you put it out there.
Just like when a farmer "sows" a seed, he "reaps" a plant. He didn't plant a plant and get a plant. He planted a seed and got a plant. Make sense?
You have to be SO careful when doing things. You have to be so careful when you say "God ordained this". You better be sure. Sometimes JUST because everything fell into the right place does NOT mean God's hand is on it.
You have to be SO careful how you treat people.
You around here being low down and dirty, evil hearted and just plain mean? Man you better watch out.
It IS coming back. Some folks call it karma. I call it reaping what you sowed.
If ONE thing encourages me to live the best life I can, be the best person I can (outside of what it says in the Word) it's my kids. THEY encourage me. WHY? Because sometimes you can reap THROUGH your kids.
I had to stop this morning and pray, Lord please don't let them reap through their kids.
I hate to see a hurting child, but for a child to hurt because of something "I" did? Not going down. Not here.
Children are so innocent. They didn't ask to be here. They didn't ASK to be born. Nerp. I do it for them.
I've done some terrible things, and I pray that God does not let me reap through them.
Ok, that's all I got today lol
I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD!
Amen honey! and you are absolutely right on ALL COUNTS mentioned! You are a better woman now and where you need to place your focus...not on the past!

You to have to be careful how you treat others. I don't ever want my kids to suffer for me. I pray that won't happen. Love the post

I pray everyday that I am the person God wants me to be and to treat others as I would want to be treated. I haven't been perfect, but I'm SO glad that God is working on me(and all of us) that our future is better than our past. Great post!

Pray for forgiveness of your sins and then pray for God's grace over yourself and your family. Offer grace and forgivenes to those in your life that are ummmm... difficult and know that God's grace and mercy covers all.
