TODAY'S FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Galatians 6:1-10
TODAY'S RHEMA Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
There is no one who does not deserve to be loved. As bad as a person can be, and how disappointing and annoying they might be, they are still one of us, a human being. When God told us to love our neighbor as ourselves, He did not add a footnote or clause. God never told us to love only those who love us. Instead, he told us to love and pray for our enemies. As God never loves one and hate the other, and causes rain too for all, we should also do likewise regardless (Matthew 5:44-48).
Our act of love may not be rewarded immediately, but realize that we are sowing seeds of love. It begins with something small, and when first sowed, it seems to disappear in the ground. The farmer doesn't estimate how much fruits he will reap from a seed he sows, but only hopes for the best harvest. Until the day the seed germinates matures and produces many fruits.
So is the seed that we sow in people's hearts. We never know when it will grow to produce many fruits. However, if we do not cease in well doing, God will perfect our deeds of love. God will make them realize their mistakes, and we will see how our seed of love will bear the fruit of salvation, restoration, miracles, and God's intervention in their lives.
REFLECTION
"Saudara Terkasih, Your part is to SOW THE SEED OF LOVE, God will PERFECT IT that it may BEAR FRUIT."
APPLICATIONS
Have you sown the seeds of love without discriminating?
Why does God want us to sow love seeds to the unworthy?
How can you start to sow the seeds of love to those we think do not deserve it?
TODAY'S PRAYER "Good Father, I am grateful that I have a role model that is full of love in everything. Teach me that I may grow to be more like You in sowing the seeds of love in my daily life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."
