Sowing is voluntary,
Reaping is compulsory.
Mind what you sow!
One way of minding what you sow is by sowing with your mind, that is, thinking through what you are sowing.
If sowing is a sacrifice, the harvest will be a benefit—this is a profit.But if sowing is the benefit, reaping will be a weeping—this is a sacrifice.
Sacrifice is good only if it comes at the beginning, not at the end.
If the benefit comes at the sowing stage, beware that sacrifice will come at the reaping stage.
It is better to begin with a sacrifice and end with a profit than start with a profit and end with a sacrifice.
Watch! Don’t allow sacrifice to be the end product of your endeavours.
Now if you will excuse me, I have a sacrificial seed to sow!
