Dear Friends,             

     One of the Spiritual Truths most often ignored in life is the idea of sowing what we reap. This has some far reaching effects in the affairs of people. It is two edged:

     Hosea proclaimed (8:7)

        “For they sow the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.”

      Job lamented (4:8)

         “As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.”

     But Hosea also advised (10:12)

          “Sow for ourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love.”

     And Paul promises (Galations 6:8)

           “He who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” 

     These are statements of Truth that, if utilized in a positive and loving attitude, will bring you a harvest of joy, self-fulfillment and wholeness. Think about that. It says that each one of us is responsible to ourself for what we are and the conditions of our life!  Jesus came proclaiming grace.

     John puts it (1:17)

            “For the law was given through Moses; Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

     Jesus’ statement of grace is (Mark 3:28)

             “Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they                utter.”

     The price of forgiveness, of grace that changes that sowed to a harvest of good faith in God, is Good.  This is the understanding of the indwelling Christ that is ever with us.

     October is the traditional month of harvest.  Come share with us some thoughts on how you may sow and reap good in your life.  October also ends with Halloween.  We will hob-nob with any goblins that might be around then.

                                               God is blessing us now,

                                                 Frank and Margaret

P.S. We will be at Unity Village on the 15th, so expect the unexpected that morning!
