its just not true?

Question

you dont reap what you sow
if that was true,then please explain why people who treat people with kindness,love,consideration,respect etc
often get treated the opposite by people
and people who are just downright mean often are treated with much love and respect

I could provide a long list of examples,but I dont want to get all personal,please tell me ''how reaping what you sow'' applies to those who have sowed beautifully and gotten quite the opposite!!

Thank-you everyone for really great answers!!! God bless you

I cant possibly choose myself so..

Answer 1

it's a dog eat dog world.

Answer 2

You know, I used to think that all the time! Where was the justice, I wondered? It may take a long while in this life, but it comes around. Some people reap what they sow in the next life, because this life couldn't hold all the good or bad they did. I dont' know any world religion that doesn't believe in some kind of divine justice--what you put out there eventually comes back. I know it's discouraging, but remember, we also don't see everything that happens in a person's life. A lot may be going on we don't see publicly. Bless you.

Answer 3

As Dr. Phil said you teach people how to treat you. This is very true in most of the time. The real problem is you! It's how you deal with the fact that the nicer you treat some people the worse they will treat you. Those that are mean and appear to be treated with love and respect are those that are feared. So it isn't love and respect that they really get.

Answer 4

Life can be hard and while we are here on this earth we live ,eat,breath and work beside all kinds of people and not all of them good.But things happen to all both bad and good.The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust.We have battles to fight and some times it looks like we won`t make the next hill let along a mountain, but guess what those who believe do make it.He never puts more on us then we can bear.And those who are wicked and aren`t going to live life eternal with God then this is all they have, our reward will be greater in the new world.

Answer 5

In the long run you will reap what you sow.

Gal 6:7-8 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Answer 6

satan does this.
satan can Steal your Blessings, if you don't know some Things.

satan Kills, Steals and Destroys.
Then blames it on GOD (get's you to Think GOD did the Bad Things.)

When you do Good, GOD Sends Good Back to Ya---if you Don't know how to Protect yourself, satan can Steal Them (your Blessings).

Think of it like this:
You plant a garden, then the Crows come and Eat what Grows (harvest) cause you don't Know How to Shooo them Away.

satan goes about as a roaring lion, seeking Whom he may Devour.

He May Not Devour Me!!!
I Know some Things!

Answer 7

I know it's sounds fake but it is true, but you can't just reap good things if your heart is not in it,and it would help if you were(are)a christian because then you would have God on your side to help you out,If you do what he tells you there will always be a blessing, if you know where to look, and try to look at whats good in your life and not at the bad,because who wants to bless someone who is always looking at the bad in there life.I hope you get what I'm saying and good luck

Answer 8

You have described a lot of what Christ went through Himself, except He got it worse. Unfortunately this is how the world works. While there is a lot of beauty and fun, there is a lot of darkness and pain.

All I can encourage you to do is expect some to spit in your face for showing love. But keep the hope, because there is someone who will reward you for the good you have done when you complete this life.

You are loved more than you know, and you will reap what you sow. (Perhaps not in this life though)

Answer 9

God doesn't promise that we will have an easy life. Certainly the apostles didn't, and they were wonderful people. Most of them were executed. Jesus said that we would be persecuted, as He was persecuted. But, thank God we don't have to suffer as He did.

Sometimes we have to wait until the harvest to reap what we have sown. At the harvest, we will be with God.

Answer 10

It might be that this concept has spiritual ramifications and impact that we don't fully understand or recognize, and that "reaping what we sow" has eternal implications more than immediate, earthly results.

Answer 11

Life is not over, sweeitie. Give it time. God works according to His own schedule. Whether you believe in reaping what you sow, karma or the threefold law, the laws of the universe are inevitable!
