Sowing Seed

"If you have been married for a few years or more, you need to know that your spouse is partly who he is today because of the seeds you have sown into his life."

Hmmm. Quite the statement to consider. Do we like the fruit we see in our spouse? If not, perhaps we need to consider the seed we have been sowing. We reap according to what we sow, you know - the scripture says so. It is a principle of the Kingdom of God. If you plant corn - you grow corn. If you sow nagging, discouraging words - you reap disgruntled, frustrated people. If you use good seed - positive, life-giving seed - you get good, healthy fruit.

If you want your husband to be a better leader, build him up and encourage him in every endeavor he makes. If you want his self-confidence to improve, speak positive words to him; esteem him. If you want him to be more caring, show him more care. Need more romance? Be more romantic and show patience - and don't belittle him - EVER!! He is your your head, your protection, your provider.

He is, in part, who you make him. Your investment counts in his life. Invest wisely - you - and many others will benefit.
