Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.… Doth any think he shall lose by his charity? No worldling, when he sows his seed, thinks he shall lose his seed; he hopes for increase at harvest. Darest thou trust the ground, and not God? Sure, God is a better paymaster than the earth; grace doth give a larger recompense than nature. Below, thou mayest receive forty grains for one; but in heaven (by the promise of Christ) a hundred-fold: a measure heapen, and shaken, and thrust together, and yet running over. "Blessed is he that considereth the poor"; there is the seeding: "The Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble" (Psalm 41:1); there is the harvest. Is that all? No; Matthew 25:35: "Ye fed him when I was hungry, and gave Me drink when thirsty" — comforted Me in misery; there is the sowing. Venite, beati. "Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you"; there is the harvest. (Thomas Adams.)
