Sowing the Truthful Seed

Galatians 6:5-8

Every man needs to bear his own burden,
Being responsible to self of each action;
Those taught in the Word let him receive,
Being taught good things not to deceive;
Whatever he sows then he shall also reap,
For the roots of life will surely run deep;
Seeds sown in flesh reap sinful infernal,
While seeds of the spirit reap life eternal.
Some do not like making their own bed,
It is more fun laying in another instead;
This might sound corny but is very true,
Not taking responsibility of what they do;
They would rather lie and cheat than tell,
The events as they happened to dispel;
Sooner or later the truth will come out,
Then in the future everyone will doubt;
Anything the person may do or state,
Just will no longer carry any weight;
God wants all to sow truthful seed,
Instead of so much of a sinful weed.
