Week Three: Harvesting What We Sow
Bible Focus:
“Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” — James 3:18 (NIV)
Just like farmers plant seeds and later harvest what grows, we also “plant” things in our relationships every day through our words, actions, and attitudes. When we plant peace by being kind, patient, and forgiving, we see good things grow love, trust, and joy. But this kind of peace doesn’t come from trying harder; it comes from knowing Jesus. Because He made peace with us through the cross, we can share that peace with others. As we walk with Him, His love and forgiveness become the seeds that grow a harvest that honors God.
