Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some
sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen!"
(Matthew 13.8-9
NRSV)
The law of sowing and reaping has not been repealed. You sow a good life--a life of integrity,
of kindness, of paying attention to your relationships with God and with your neighbor, of
taking care of your body, mind and soul--and you will reap a good life of lasting friendships,
better than average health, and a feeling of deep satisfaction within. Try to take short-cuts, be
a cheater, a slacker, a ne'er-do-well and eventually life will find you out. As the saying goes,
time heals all wounds and wounds all heels. The choice is ours. Any sound psychologist would
say the same to you. Any successful business leader, any competent doctor. You don't have to
live very long to discover this is the way life works. The sooner you learn to make good
choices, the sooner you will find lasting happiness.
Dear God, help me to sow good seed that falls in good soil. Amen.
