That Which You Sow

Life for you can never be
the best that you could know
until into the lives of others
seeds of love you sow.

It is our Father in Heaven
who gives you the ability to choose
but if you seek to build your own life
the choice to be blessed you will lose.

For it is true what is written,
that which you sow you do reap.
And it is more blessed to give
than to seek that which you can keep.

It is in giving that you receive
back from that which you've sown.
Planting into the lives of others,
you'll experience rewards that you've not known.

Give away such things as you have,
those things you can never really keep.
You'll gain through Him what you cannot lose
and eternal rewards you will reap.

this is so great and so true, what we sow God gives us back a hundred fold just like he did for Lot, he lost everything but was given so much more in return, God bless yo from diane, you will reap your harvest,
