I've heard it said and believe it is true. Can you explain how it happens?

In the Book of Galatians 6:4, the Apostle Paul writes; Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

That is an idea that man came up with. It's a take on the bibles illustration of reaping and sowing. The difference? What goes around is the very SAME thing that comes around. An eye for an eye, no different and not good enough. But the truth of how God perfectly set things up is that you reap what you sow. In other words you get the harvest of the seed you plant. Plant a an apple seed, harvest an apple tree. Plant hate and unbelief without repentance, harvest death, hell, and destruction forever.
(Math 13: 3-9)
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an HUNDREDFOLD, some SIXTYFOLD, some THIRTYFOLD. WHO HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR." (Math 13: 3-9)

Giving your time, talents, and money is one of the secrets to enjoyng life and reaping the benefits. Many people throughout the world over time have proved it. Sharing your skills and money, in the broadest sense, is an opportunity to change things for the better, including a tremendous internal gratification from helping others. It really is true that what goes around comes around.

I've heard that for years. I believe it to be true. Some people say it's a universal law. I've done good things for people in their time of need, and I 've always had it come back to me in one form or another.

Its the same as saying what you sew you shall reap, what ever you do comes back to you. Every thing is a circle in the universe so that is why things come back around. Its kinda a boomerang effect. Have you ever saw a square in nature, a circle is universal.

Karma before death does not exist. Any such evidence is simply a false reasoning one has created in their mind as a form of justice.
God teaches us of karma after death, that is someone will receive their just desserts only after God judges them. Blessings, trials, tribulations, etc. are part of life and some people get more of one than the other.
Even for those who are righteous in God's eyes through faith it is hard to accept the words that "the last will be first, and the first will be last".

God has established in His Universe a law of sowing and reaping: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap" (Galatians 6:7)
Sow corn; reap corn.
Sow weeds, reap weeds.
Sow cruelty, reap cruelty.
Sow mercy, reap mercy.
Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but in due time the law will catch up with you.

The analogy that I use is ripples on a pond. You throw a stone in a still pond, and the ripples spread out from it. They interact with other things in the pond - plants, stones, the shore - and ripples from that interaction are sent back to the point where the stone originally landed.

It does seem to happen more times than not. Maybe it is karma and maybe it is some force we can't understand but I have seen it happen. The best thing is to always do good by everyone and hope everyone will do good by us. If they don't then at least we will know we did our best.
