Don' throw seeds to the wind

I am not the type of person that can quote from the Bible and give you book, chapter and verse so you can find it for yourself.  I can however, summarize what I know because I've studied.  Then it's up to each person to do their own due diligence on the topic.  Study to show thine own self approved.  This is one of the principals given in the Bible.

What I have learned in my 36 years of life is that people say a lot of things.  Some people love to tell the "truth".  Then there are those who thrive on telling lies.  Some do both depending on which looks more favorably on them at the time.  I don't have any problems letting others know that I, as a Christian, try to fit into the first category of telling the "truth".

Each person has their "truth".  To me this means that because I was raised the way I was raised, I am unique.  Everyone is unique within themselves as we are different people and we were all raised in different ways.  This gives me a view that may not be the view of anyone else; this is my "truth".  This is what I tell when I open my mouth to speak.  The Bible says, so a man speaketh, so he is.

This means if you speak lies you are a liar.  Let's not try and pour sugar on top of it and say oh it is a little white lie, or just a fib or a small story.  A lie is a lie is a lie.  Telling a lie makes you a liar.  In the '80's the catch phrase was word is bond.   Guess what?  That is a Biblical principal.  The Bible says that a mans word is his bond.  This means that out of your mouth your heart speaks.  The words out of your mouth proves what type of person you are.

You will reap what you sow.  What goes around comes around.  Both of these phrases mean the same thing.  Some people call it karma.  It matters not what you call it; the principal remains the same.  Do not expect to plant watermelon seeds and at harvest time you pick cucumbers.  Do not expect to plant a field of lies and harvest truth.  Put out what you want to get back.  My faith in that Biblical principal is unshakable.  Therefore, my word is my bond.

I expect from others only what I have given; therefore, let every man examine himself and realize that if you aren't getting back good fruit the reason may be that you haven't planted any!  Love is the only answer.
