II Corinthians 9:6 ” Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”

For most people, when they read this verse, they think it’s all about money or material possessions.  But I would challenge you today to be generous with yourself.  It means blessing others with your smile and giving them the gift of a cheerful heart.  It means seeking out the good in someone, and then of affirming and encouraging that good.  For when you sow generously of yourself…others can not help but see the outer reflection of an inner attitude of Christ’s love.

Proverbs 11:27 ” He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it.”

What goes around, comes around…or better yet, you look for trouble, and it’ll find you.  Or elsewhere, in Psalm 7:16 to paraphrase, “The trouble you cause will return back to you…the violence you create will come down on your head.”  But if we seek what is good and morally right, we will receive favor…favor before God…and favor before men.  And as we seek good, not only are we changed, but what we seek changes…for we are aligning ourselves with the Holy Spirit and seeking God’s Will,  not our own.
