You cannot fool God, so don’t make a fool of yourself! You will harvest what you plant. If you follow your selfish desires, you will harvest destruction, but if you follow the Spirit, you will harvest eternal life. We can’t allow ourselves to get tired of living the right way.

-Galatians 6:7-9

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.

-1 Peter 2:2

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need.

-2 Corinthians 9:6-8

2.  My harvest will always come then when I planted

3. What I harvest will always be than what I planted.

-Luke 6:38

4.  My harvest will be proportional to the it took to plant.

I will not offer to the Lord my God sacrifices that cost me nothing.

-2 Samuel 24:24

5.  I can’t do anything about this harvest, but I can change next .
