SOWING AND REAPING
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. —Gal. vi. 7.
The seed sown in the ground contains in itself the future harvest. The harvest is but the development of the germ of life in the seed. A holy act strengthens the inward holiness. It is a seed of life growing into more life. He that sows much thereby becomes more conformed to God than he was before, in his heart and spirit. That is his reward and harvest. And just as among the apostles there was one whose spirit, attuned to love, made him emphatically the disciple whom Jesus loved, so shall there be some who, by previous discipline of the Holy Ghost, shall have more of His mind, and understand more of His love, and drink deeper of His joy, than others, —they that have sowed bountifully. —F. W. Robebtson.
