Christian Marriage: Are You Considering The Harvest Now?

Be aware of the type of seeds that you're planting inside your Christian marriage! There is ultimately two possibilities:
1. You can plant good seed inside your Christian marriage.
2. You can place bad seed in your own Christian marriage.

However, there's one common effect regardless of the sort of seed we make a decision to sow: Expect that it will increase and bring  some sort of harvest.
Don't let yourself be fooled: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps just what he sows? Galatians 6:7

Every time I go to a destination where homeless folks are present nearby me, in the event that I have got some money, I usually provide them with a few dollars. I started sharing cash to the people less fortunate compared to me when I was in college. My man and I attended two different universities which were roughly 2 hours traveling distance apart. On the weekends, he'd pick me up and take me to his university. The place just outside his school seemed to be full of homeless men and women.

I generally felt heartbroken inside whenever I would observe them all, so I would encourage him hand them over some money. Being young people ourselves, you can imagine we did not have much money, however I still felt that we were fortunate enough to lend a hand whenever possible. We have never got a lot of cash, however we have never gone hungry either.

At this point fast forward a couple of years?

My hubby had been laid off by his job this past February. We had to adapt and make a couple of changes to our own way of living. Though we have been dealing with half the actual income we once brought in to the household. The pantry shelves, refrigerator, as well as deep freezer are still full of food. How is that feasible? I do think that because we've always tried to be a blessing to people less fortunate than us, the Lord is definitely watching over us throughout our time of need too.

What kind of seeds are you currently planting within your Christian marriage? If you decide to sow good seed inside your Christian marriage, you certainly will experience good harvest. Should you be dealing with the implications of sowing undesirable seeds, know that you don't have to continue reaping a bad harvest. If you switch what you are sowing, you can expect to reap a different harvest.

God will not release us from the repercussions of our past actions, but He will be there with us even as we cope with them. How else can we definitely learn that we need to modify what we are doing except we suffer the end results of the choices we make in daily life? Jesus cares so much about us that He gives us a stern warning, Do not be deceived: God can't be mocked. A man reaps what he sows? Galatians 6:7 After He delivers us this forewarning, He allows us to make our very own decisions and watch the rewards or even endure the aftermaths of those choices. This is definitely tough love!

Challenge: Examine your Christian marriage, do you desire to experience a different sort of harvest? If so, write out just what harvest you would like to see from now on. Now take a step back and identify what improvements may be necessary in your own goals, daily schedule, or otherwise to have the preferred harvest. Choose to take action on them today!
