Of Records Still in the Writing or Harvests Still in the Planting

Harvest: the fruition of seeds planted!We cannot reap what we did not plantboth literally and spiritually! Yesterday's harvest included onions! Gal.6:7-8Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Below excerpt by J.R.Miller I cannot bear your weight of careNor you, mine; we must eachShoulder lessons in trust and prayerThat God alone can teach Our sacred share in live-and-learnHolds more than meets the eye The rich reward of faith's returnNot now, but by and by You cannot love on my behalfNor I on yours; no oneCan weep my tears or taste my laugh-ter for a fight, well-won/task well done When life is through then I will standTo answer for the seeds  Not strewn by someone else's handBut for my words and deeds I will not give account for youNor you for me; each oneWhen this God-granted life is throughWill answer God alone No one to point a finger at When each life is laid bareAs God opens the record thatReaches from here to there Janet Martin Ps.86:5, 9&11 For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;Nor are there any works like Your works.All nations whom You have madeShall come and worship before You, O Lord,And shall glorify Your name.For You are great, and do wondrous things;You alone are God. Teach me Your way, O Lord;I will walk in Your truth;[]Unite my heart to fear Your name.
