Restore That Person Gently
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin,
you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch
yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens,
and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something
when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take
pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,
for each one should carry their
own load. Nevertheless,
the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with
their instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps
what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh,
from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from
the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially
to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:1-10
It might seem obvious that planting corn leads to harvesting corn.
However, sometimes deny the relationship between sowing and reaping in our
spiritual lives.
Walking with the Spirit produces peace, kindness, and self-control. By
God’s grace, we can choose to sow the message of our Lord, and reap eternal
life.
Suppose Jesus declared today as “harvest day” in our lives, and He
asked us to gather up the yield of our everyday choices over the past year.
What would we have to show Him?
The seeds we sow today determine the kind of fruit we
will reap tomorrow.
