Johnny Appleseed Wisdom

Original Date: 2/2/09

So, I read an interesting quote this morning:

Johnny Appleseed: "Any man can count the seeds in an apple but only God can count the apples in a seed."

That phrase gave me a whole new perspective on the principle of sewing and reaping. Think of it like this: You are a farmer. All you have to live on is the food at the harvest. So, you have to sew seeds to yield the fruit. Well, you are not going to throw in bad seed, are you? If you throw in bad seed, you will get bad fruit.

It's the same in the spiritual world. Only in the spiritual world, words are seeds. If you are sewing seeds of bitterness, you will have to eat the fruit of that bitterness. Sew only the seeds of that which you would want to eat.
