We never plant seeds simply because it’s what we want to do. We plant seeds because it is what we want to have done. In the future, when we harvest our crop, we want to be able to look back at the present and say, “I’m sure glad I planted those seeds.” The same principle applies in our spiritual lives. We must think ahead to the time of harvest and ask, “What will I wish that I had sown?” When you “sow to please the Spirit,” the longterm benefits far outweigh the short-term sacrifices; and someday you will look back and you’ll be glad you did.
