Jerimiah 17:10
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

          I am learning the ways of the Lord, by observing the actions of my Lord and by heeding the teaching in the Word of God.  I am unlearning the ways of the world as I practice doing as Jesus did by renouncing my selfish, self-seeking ways of placing myself first at the expense of others.

You Reap What You Sow

When you long to be touched, you need to reach out.
When you want to believe you need to cast out doubt.
If you desire to be loved you need to care.
If you wish to receive, you need to share.
When you want to reap, you need to sow;
This is a truth you need to know.
If you desire to get, you need to give;
By this law you need to live.
Do unto others as you want to be done unto you;
This is the same principle too.
Apply the truth you hear, and you will see,
That it will stand up for thee.
Try the Word of God, it will withstand the test;
For no other wisdom will with such honor rest.
Do the works your Savior has done,
Follow the example of Jesus, God’s Son.
Love will arise with such power and might;
It will become as a perfect sacrifice.
Lay yourself down for others and you also will become,
A seed sown; for the mighty harvest in the Kingdom that comes.

2 Corinthians 9:6
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
