There are many scriptures in the Bible and even many sayings in the world that although they are worded differently all say the same * you reap what you sow*.
So what does Webster's dictionary say the meaning of those two little words are?
REAP> to gather, to harvest, to obtain
SOW> to plant, to put into motion, to spread about
So we can see that what we harvest will always depend on what we sow. We will never harvest a different crop than what we plant. Example: If you sow corn you will not harvest olives.
What you do unto others God will do unto you. What you give to others God will give back to you. If you judge others you will be judged by God according to the same manner of which you judged them.
If you sow a seed of anger and hate, revenge or bitterness, spite and malice; you are going to receive the same back to you. If you give a smile or a kind word to someone , someone will come along and do the same for you. If you give a sandwich to someone who is hungry or a glass of water to someone who is thirsty, how much more do you think God will give to you in your time of need?
If you were dying and there was only one doctor who could save your life, wouldn't you want someone to take you to that doctor?There are a lot of lost and dying souls out there that only Jesus can save; won't you be the one who takes them to Jesus?
We can't look at these situations and say* someone else will help them * we need to be that someone. We can't look at these situations as a way to get blessed by God; we need to see them through the eyes and heart of God.
If you see someone who is cold and has no coat but you have two; won't you give them one of yours?
Matthew 7:9-10>
Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
